💡 2 THOUGHTS FROM ME
I. The Bible is just not against effort; it’s against incomes.
We’re saved by grace by religion in Jesus. As we’re instructed in Ephesians 2, “and this isn’t from yourselves; it’s God’s present—not from works, in order that nobody can boast.”
Nonetheless, this doesn’t imply that following Jesus requires no effort.
We can’t earn God’s forgiveness, nevertheless it does take effort to obey His instructions and pursue holiness. To not earn one thing from God that has already been freely given, however to exhibit that we love and belief Him.
If we expect following Jesus merely means mentally agreeing that He’s God whereas persevering with to stay in line with our personal preferences and needs, we’re, in apply, putting ourselves as at the very least God’s equal.
Jesus says in Matthew 16, “If anybody needs to comply with after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and comply with me.”
That’s going to take some effort.
However right here’s the excellent news: the Bible is just not against effort; it’s against incomes.

💬 2 HELPFUL QUOTES
I. John Rohn on success and failure:
“Success is a number of easy disciplines, practiced day-after-day. Failure is just a number of errors in judgment, repeated day-after-day. Small issues matter.”
II. Writer Emily P. Freeman on the best way to get readability:
“The most important mistake you may make is considering you need to have all of it discovered earlier than you act. You do not. Begin messy. Begin unsure. What issues is just not how good your starting is, however whether or not you’ve gotten the braveness to start in any respect. Most individuals watch for readability; the reality is, readability comes after motion, not earlier than it.”
📖 1 BRIEF BOOK REVIEW
This ebook explores AI, its growth, and its future from a Christian perspective (which I appreciated), written by somebody extremely educated within the discipline.
Whereas there have been fascinating insights and issues I realized, it was a tricky learn. It felt extra like a analysis paper or report, with many quotes and references to different sources. At 300 pages, the dearth of tales or illustrations made it a problem to get by.
I additionally didn’t love the font and format, which didn’t assist. I additionally discovered the title deceptive. As a play on Orwell’s 1984, I anticipated a special writing fashion or construction. Whereas the ebook often referenced what life may very well be like in 2084, the title appeared that it could focus extra on that side.
In case you’re already deep into AI, chances are you’ll discover some components fascinating, however I wouldn’t suggest this as a place to begin. And for many readers, I feel it’ll be troublesome to complete.
It is not a foul ebook, however was not notably pleasurable for me.
