WHAT WILL AI “FEEL” LIKE IN 2028?

Posted on by

Another great article from Peter Diamandis. If you did not read Peter’s previous article entitled “Generative AI is About to Cause Humanity to Fork” then I encourage you to do so. Sadly. Peter believes in evolution. God is not part of his worldview. Nevertheless, we need to know what he and our current unbelieving leaders believe AI will do for humanity. My followers gave it the “thumbs up”.

How will AI actually show up in our daily lives?

There are 5 distinct shifts coming simultaneously. Each one is already visible at the edges. Together, they rewrite what it will feel like to be alive in 2028.

Let’s dive in…

1. YOU WILL GIVE YOUR AI ACCESS TO EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE… I MEAN EVERYTHING

For 15 years, I’ve been talking about the day every human gets their own version of JARVIS: the AI from Iron Man that knows everything about Tony Stark and orchestrates his life in real time.

Inside of the next two years you’ll give your personal AI (your own JARVIS) access to ALL your data, all your interactions and your desires. The benefits from this level of disclosure will be so great that privacy concerns will dissolve… because the value is simply too enormous to refuse.

This week I massively upgraded Skippy’s capability and utility (Skippy is my OpenClaw agent). Powered by Opus 4.6 on two Mac Studios, sitting on top of Kimi K2.5. Connected Skippy to EVERYTHING possible… iMessage, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Calendar, email, Granola… and all of my files set up within an Andrej Kaparthy-style second-brain. The increase in “Feeling AGI” was palpable… and it’s only going to accelerate, which is the purpose of today’s newsletter.

Here’s the list of what your AI will consume…

1. Listen to every phone conversation you have. 2. Access to all your emails, every text, all meeting notes. 3. Visual/auditory data feeds from your smart glasses. 4. Every camera inside your home and every sensor on your body: continuously being monitored. 5. Every calendar entry and every preference. 6. Your financial transactions, investment portfolios, and spending patterns. 7. Your genome, your blood work, your sleep architecture: every biological signal.

When your AI has all of this data and context, it stops being a chatbot and starts being a chief of staff.

Imagine this: You finish breakfast with your family and head towards the front door. Your AI knows your schedule and has already seen you moving toward the exit. Before you step outside, a Cybercab is already waiting in your driveway. But here’s where it goes from convenient to auto-magical: your AI cross-referenced your Oura ring sleep data and knows you slept poorly, so it summoned a Cybercab configured with a reclined seat for a restorative nap on your commute. You never asked for it. You never even thought about it. The world simply conformed itself to you. That’s the shift. AI stops being a tool you reach for and becomes an invisible layer that anticipates you: making decisions on your behalf that you didn’t even know needed to be made.

Here’s another one: You’re preparing for a board meeting tomorrow. Your AI has already read every document in the shared drive, summarized the three contentious items, drafted your talking points based on your stated positions, and pre-scheduled a 10-minute call with your CFO because it detected a discrepancy in the Q2 numbers that you’ll want resolved before the meeting. You wake up and it’s all waiting in your briefing. No prompt. No request. Just done.

The shift isn’t from an “okay AI” to a “better AI.”. It’s from AI you talk to, to AI that acts on your behalf, before you even think to ask.

So, what does this mean? The winners of the next decade won’t be the apps with the best UIs. They’ll be the agents with the most trusted access to your data. The smartphone era rewarded app design. The agent era rewards context depth – and trust.

2. YOUR ENVIRONMENT STARTS ADAPTING TO YOU

Right now, you walk into a room and tweak it to your needs: adjusting the thermostat, the music, the lighting. In the very near future, your environment will magically adjust itself to your desires. Sensors in your home, combined with continuous biometric feeds from your wearables, mean your home and workplace knows what you need before you do.

  • Music shifts based on whether your heart rate variability says you’re stressed or flowing.
  • Temperature nudges based on your metabolism.
  • Lighting moves from cool blue in the morning to warm amber two hours before your biological bedtime.

Did you have a stressful day? Your AI starts playing your favorite comedian on the TV as you walk through the door. Your bedroom detects you’re approaching sleep, dims every screen in the house, locks the doors, and shifts your phone to “Do Not Disturb,” all as you brush your teeth.

And then there’s food, which may be the most underestimated transformation of the next 3-4 years. Today we snack, we eat what we like. But what about a future in which your AI partners with your kitchen robot to feed you exactly what your body needs? Your future meals are not based on a whim. They’re optimized specifically for your physiology, in that moment: your taste profile, your current blood chemistry (hydration, protein levels, vitamin levels) and balancing any nutrient deficit. Your AI knows you have an upcoming workout, and adds extra protein and creatine to your lunch, again automagically. No menu. No guessing. No asking. The meal shows up dialed in to the biochemistry of the person eating it.

Your home becomes a biological dashboard. Your environment becomes a real-time response to your body’s needs. A living space that literally keeps you healthier.

3. AUGMENTED REALITY CHANGES EVERYTHING

This is one element of what’s coming that most people underestimate.

Smart glasses (from Meta, Apple, and a wave of startups) are about to make augmented reality feel the way smartphones felt in 2010: inevitable. And once the display layer is live, everything about how you move through your day changes.

Travel: Interested in the history of a city while on vacation? Walk down the streets of Rome and your AI overlays historical imagery on every building you pass. The Forum reassembles itself in your field of view. The name and story of the artist whose sculpture you just walked past hovers in mid-air. The language on the menu in front of you translates before you blink.

Shopping: Shopping collapses in on itself, going from slow and frustrating to fast and fun. Imagine the following… You’ve been invited to a friend’s June wedding in Long Island, New York. Your AI knows the current fashions, the temperature that day and your budget. Without prompting, your version of JARVIS spins up a runway fashion show before your eyes. A dozen avatars of you, wearing different outfits, parade before your eyes. You pick one. It ships. Of course, it fits perfectly because your AI maintains a continuously updated 3D model of your body.

Education: Education transforms just as radically. Your child looks at a math problem through their glasses, and their AI tutor doesn’t just solve it… it identifies the specific concept they’re stuck on, generates a visual explanation calibrated to their learning style, and connects it to something they care about. A kid who loves basketball suddenly understands parabolic arcs. A child fascinated by Minecraft intuitively grasps geometry. Every child gets a world-class private tutor, 24/7, for free.

So, what does this all mean? Historical overlays everywhere you walk. Menus, signs, labels translated in real time. Commerce that happens without any interruption pattern: no ads, no pop-ups, no friction.

The “attention economy”—the entire scaffolding of advertising, interruption, and persuasion that funds today’s internet—starts to collapse. The new economy is built around agents making purchases on your behalf, not ads nudging you toward them.

4. AI GETS PHYSICAL: ON YOUR STREET, IN YOUR HOME

For the last few years, AI has been mostly a digital experience on your phone or computer screen. By 2028, AI will be walking out of the digital realm and into your driveway, your kitchen, and your workplace.

Autonomous vehicles go mainstream

At least five autonomous vehicle companies are already operating or actively testing on the streets of major U.S. cities. Waymo is already serving millions of rides. Tesla’s Cybercab is rolling out. Zoox (by Amazon), Volkswagen’s autonomous ID. Buzz (partnered with Uber), and Uber/Nvidia’s L4 platform expanding to 28 cities by 2028 are right behind them. The generation of humans who will never need a driver’s license is already in elementary and middle school.

Humanoid robots move in

This is one that still sounds like science fiction, but it won’t for much longer. Figure, Tesla’s Optimus, 1X’s Neo, Unitree, Apptronik. These companies are shipping. And unit economics are collapsing.

The first humanoid robots are already working in warehouses, factories, and pilot homes: unmodified, no special infrastructure required. You’ve heard me speak about Optimum (Tesla), Figure and Neo (1X) extensively, but there are many more. Recently, Apptronik just raised $520M at a $5B+ valuation with Google DeepMind as a backer.

In China, Unitree has taken the lead position. The company has filed for a Shanghai IPO, seeking to raise about ~$610 million to fund AI model development, new robot platforms, and manufacturing expansion. The Hangzhou-based humanoid/quadruped robot maker posted a 674% jump in adjusted net profit to $90M in 2025, becoming the world’s top humanoid robot seller. Within 36 months, a humanoid robot in your kitchen will feel as normal as a smartphone on your counter. The “AI hype” narrative ends the moment the robot cleans your kitchen while the Cybercab waits in the driveway. We’re 18 to 24 months from that exact picture.

5. YOUR HEALTH BECOMES A 24/7 AI-COACHED OPERATION

The annual physical is already obsolete. It’s just that most of the healthcare system hasn’t caught up yet.

Right now, the average biohacker is carrying three to four continuous health data streams: an Oura ring or Whoop, an Apple Watch on the wrist and a continuous glucose monitor on their arm. That’s over 100 biometrics a day, every day, feeding into an AI that can see patterns no human clinician ever could.

What this enables, in the next 24 months, is a shift from reactive healthcare (”I feel bad, I go to the doctor, they run tests”) to continuous optimization: “my AI notices something drifting and nudges me before I ever feel it.”

  • You just sat on a Zoom call for 90 minutes. Your AI pings you: “Do 20 squats your glucose is trending up and movement now saves you a spike.”
  • You’re about to take the elevator. Your AI suggests the stairs because your Zone 2 minutes are low this week.
  • Your hydration score is drifting. Your AI tells you to drink 16oz before your 2pm meeting because it already knows how you present when dehydrated.
  • Your AI detects a subtle shift in your heart rate variability pattern over the past 72 hours, cross-references it with your recent travel and sleep data, and recommends you take a specific anti-inflammatory supplement and schedule a blood draw — three weeks before you would have noticed anything was off.
  • You’re about to order your third coffee. Your AI gently intervenes: “Your cortisol is already elevated from this morning’s meeting. Switch to green tea, you’ll actually focus better.”

This is not a wellness app. It’s a preventive medicine engine operating on you, continuously, forever. In 10 years, we won’t go to the doctor when we feel sick. We’ll be continuously optimized, and the rare visit will be for something AI flagged before we knew it existed.

THE BROADER PICTURE

Here’s the meta-pattern underneath all five of these shifts: Today, AI is an app. Something you open. Something you prompt. Something you use.

In the next 2 to 3 years, AI becomes a ubiquitous, always on, always enabling. Something that surrounds you. Something that acts on your behalf. Something you stop noticing… the same way you stopped noticing electricity in the walls of your home.

And that’s the real signal. Transformative technologies eventually disappear into the background of life. The telephone was miraculous in 1900 and invisible by 1950. The internet was astonishing in 1995 and ambient by 2010. AI will follow the same arc, but compressed into a fraction of the time.

Here’s the question for you: are you positioning yourself to thrive in this new era, or scrambling to catch up?

Are you going AI-first in every part of your life? Are you connecting your data so your agents can actually serve you? Are you experimenting with the tools that will feel primitive in 18 months but will look like genius in hindsight for being early? The next 24 months are going to feel, to anyone paying attention, like the single largest shift in the daily experience of being alive since the smartphone. Position yourself accordingly.

To an abundant (and AWESOME) future,

Peter

Peter does not know what we know from Bible prophecy that we are fast approaching the time Jesus returns to rescue Israel and to restore righteousness. When Jesus begins His Millennial reign on Earth with the glorified Saints it will be an awesome future but beforehand it will be a very difficult time for Christians as we go through a time of tribulation, even great tribulation when the Antichrist comes on the scene.

I USE GROK 4 TO RETRIEVE SCRIPTURES AS THE RESPONSE IS OFTEN HELPFUL

Posted on by

What happens when one of the most advanced AI systems is asked one of humanity’s oldest and most profound questions?

Recently, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok was prompted to respond to questions about Jesus—and the answers have sparked intense debate online.

Instead of a simple or traditional explanation, the response reportedly explored historical context, conflicting interpretations, and philosophical perspectives in a way many didn’t expect. Some found it insightful. Others found it unsettling.

Why would an AI’s answer provoke such strong reactions?

In this video, they break down what Grok actually said, how AI systems generate responses on complex religious topics, and why different people interpret these answers so differently. Because when artificial intelligence meets belief, history, and identity… the results can be more thought-provoking than anyone anticipates.

WATCH FOR THE COMING ANTICHRIST

Posted on by

Scripture describes the Antichrist’s arrival as sudden, deceptive, and initially non-violent—rising through political cunning, flattery/intrigue, and false peace rather than open conquest or legitimate royal inheritance.

He is not given the throne by birthright or popular acclaim in the normal way; instead, he seizes it “without warning” and “by flatteries,” quoted from Daniel 11:21 (ESV). This fits a consistent biblical pattern across Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation: he emerges amid end-times chaos, appears charismatic and peace-making at first, gains power through deceit and supernatural deception, and only later reveals his tyrannical, blasphemous nature.

The primary passages that describe how he comes on the scene:

1. Daniel 11:21 – The “contemptible person” rises by intrigue

“In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries [or ‘intrigue’].”

In context (Daniel 11:21-24), this figure becomes a king by deceit “shall come in peaceably and seize the kingdom by intrigue”. He prospers initially through smooth words and cunning, not military might or hereditary right.

2. Daniel 7:8, 24-25 – The “little horn” arises among ten kings

“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.” (v. 8) “As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones and shall put down three kings. He shall speak words against the Most High…” (vv. 24-25)

He emerges after a ten-kingdom (or ten-king) coalition forms, quietly displacing three rulers. No fanfare or inherited throne—just opportunistic rise.

3. Daniel 8:23-25 – A king who rises “by his cunning” and “by peace”

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their fullness, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great—but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does. He shall destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall exalt himself. Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, but by no human hand, he shall be broken.”

Key phrase: “by peace [or ‘security’] he shall destroy many” (some translations). He appears peaceful and prosperous at first yet uses that very peace as a weapon of destruction. His power is explicitly not his own—it comes from Satan (cross-referenced in Revelation).

4. Daniel 9:27 – He confirms a covenant (the deceptive “peace treaty”)

“And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week [seven years], and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate…”

This is often seen as the event that launches his public rise: he brokers a seven-year peace deal (perhaps with Israel or many nations), only to break it after 3½ years with the “abomination of desolation.”

5. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 – The “man of lawlessness” is revealed after the restrainer is removed

“Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God… For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth… The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth…”

He does not appear until certain preconditions are met (apostasy/rebellion and the removal of the restrainer). When he does appear, it is through Satanic power, counterfeit miracles, and deception—not raw military takeover.

6. Revelation 13:1-8 – The Beast rises from the sea and amazes the world

“And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads… And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon… and they worshiped the beast…”

The beast (widely identified as the Antichrist) emerges from the chaotic “sea” of nations. A fatal wound is miraculously healed, causing the whole world to marvel and follow him. Again, the dragon (Satan) gives him his throne and authority. He is worshipped globally for 42 months.

Summary of the biblical picture

  • How he comes on the scene: Suddenly and subtly (“without warning”), through political flattery, intrigue, and a false peace covenant—not by legitimate succession or brute force at first.
  • What empowers him: Satan directly (power, signs, lying wonders).
  • Initial impression: Charismatic peacemaker who prospers by deceit and “craft.”
  • Turning point: After 3½ years he reveals his true nature—demands worship, commits the abomination of desolation, and turns tyrannical.
  • Global reaction: The world is deceived and amazed, especially by the healed wound and false miracles.

This is the unified portrait Scripture gives in the key prophetic books. While Christian interpreters differ on exact timing, identity, or whether Daniel 11 is fully future vs. typological, the manner of his coming (deceptive, intrigue-filled, Satan-empowered rise) is consistently described across these passages. We need to remember that God is in total control during his reign. I believe Christians will be on Earth during much of the Antichrist’s reign. God promises to keep us from His wrath which is poured out on the Earth with the trumpet and Bowl judgements which occur during the last year prior to Jesus return to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon. The church is raptured at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal. Note it is at the end of the opening of the sixth seal that it says the great day of God’s wrath has come.

“Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:16-17

It is also the sixth church the church of Philadelphia that is raptured:

“Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 3:10

The seals and the churches reveal what is unfolding in the last seven years before Jesus returns. After defeating the Antichrist’s army Jesus sets up His Millennial Kingdom in a newly restored Jerusalem and a totally restructured Earth. The key Scriptures describing these events are found primarily in the prophetic books of the Old Testament (Isaiah, Micah, Zechariah, Ezekiel) and the book of Revelation. They portray major topographical changes to the earth during the time God pours out His wrath with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. followed by the exaltation of Jerusalem as the highest mountain, where Jesus establishes His Millennial Kingdom.

UFO’s AND ALIENS IN THE END TIMES

Posted on by

It seems like you can’t check the news without seeing another story about UFOs, UAPs, and unexplainable aerial phenomena. Even U.S. government officials and senators are demanding answers. Congress demanded 46 classified UFO videos — and the Pentagon missed the deadline. Tragedy is the world is looking for answers in outer space when they should be looking in the Word of God? The world does not accept the supernatural beings that are impacting the world for both good (angels) and bad (demons) and yet God’s word reveals that they are as real as human beings.

Jesus end times prophecies predicted increased demonic activity prior to His return. His exact words in Luke 21 are more specific than anything Congress has uncovered. Most people read Luke 21:11 as “signs from heaven.” But the Greek word Jesus used was phobetron — nightmare monsters. Not metaphor. Not poetry. A precise description of the interdimensional beings now appearing in classified footage worldwide. In this video, Nelson investigates: → What Congress is actually chasing in those 46 videos → Why Jesus used the word “phobetron” — and what it reveals about the nature of UFOs → the biblical framework for interdimensional beings — and why they’re appearing NOW → the Revelation 12 connection — and why these beings are being “evicted” into our dimension → how 2 Thessalonians 2′s “strong delusion” connects directly to UFO disclosure 2026 → what Genesis 6 tells us about these beings’ criminal history — and their endgame. This is not speculation. This is a 2,000-year-old case file — and U.S. Congress just reopened it.

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH

Posted on by

In this interview, Dr. James Tour and Dr. Stephen Meyer discuss science and faith, while getting into the details on the discovery of complex, sequence specific information required for life’s function and origin, and the required fine-tuned laboratory that we call our universe that must exist in order for assembly to occur. Both men are brilliant and good communicators.

I found Dr Stephen Myer’s testimony of how and why he came to faith very convincing and interesting and worth the time invested in watching the video. I also believe I can use it in my efforts to disciple others. I hope you are inspired by it too.

END TIMES PROPHECIES RARELY QUOTED BY CHRISTIANS BUT REGULARLY BY THE JEWS

Posted on by

I am amazed at how many end times prophecies I keep finding. As I have mentioned many times before there were 300 + prophecies of Jesus first coming that were fulfilled to the letter and we know the Pharisees and Sadducees did not acknowledge them nor do the leaders of the Orthodox or Reformed Jews of today. But there are about 2000 prophecies of the Jews Messiah’s coming that they do acknowledge, sadly they do not know it is Jesus and it is His second coming. The Jews do acknowledge these two prophecies by Isaiah and Zechariah and eagerly look forward to their fulfilment.

“Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by. For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.” Isaiah 26:19-21

How amazing is this prophecy by Isaiah 2700 years ago. First we learn from these two verses that there will be a resurrection then the next verse is a little like Noah and his family entering Noah’s Ark to be protected from God’s wrath.

What about Zechariah? He was inspired to prophesy more than 500 years before Christ’s first coming:

“I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah [the Jews inhabiting the land of Israel] and Jerusalem….I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it” Zechariah 12:2-3

Some think these verses apply to ancient events, but chapter 14 makes clear they refer to the future, immediately before Jesus Christ’s return:

“Behold, the day of the Lord is coming….For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken….Half of the city shall go into captivity…. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations… .And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives…. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south” Zechariah 14:1-4

Jesus confirmed these prophecies and showed Jerusalem and its environs would be the focus of political and military upheavals immediately preceding His return:

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near” (Luke 21:20).

Anyone living a century ago would have found these words difficult to comprehend. Jerusalem had been fought over many times, but for four centuries from 1517 the city had been at peace within the Ottoman Empire, with Jews living there as a minority under Turkish rule. This, however, dramatically changed in 1948 when the modern state of Israel was established, setting the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Jeremiah prophesied a time when the Jewish people would no longer speak of the Exodus, yet today, they continue to celebrate Passover, as it is central to “Judaism.” This deep dive into “bible study” suggests a future “Israel prophecy” where a greater Exodus is yet to come, making the current “Passover explained” celebration a precursor to a more profound event. This “prophecy” sheds light on the enduring relevance of ancient texts.

“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.” Jeremiah 16:14-15

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus and with a “rod of iron”.

“The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron,” Revelation 2:26

AS PROPHESIED CHRISTIANITY HAS DEPARTED FAR FROM ITS ROOTS

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn reveals how Anti-Israel hatred has been spreading across the world, even through conservative influencers – But what does the Bible say? – And it’s all connected to end-time prophecy – and from the Book of Acts! It is amazing how this little nation, Israel which was established by God for His purposes is the centre of world events in our day. The Bible prophesied that this would be the case in the last days before Jesus returns to rescue His nation from total destruction and restore righteousness. And yet the nation did not exist prior to 1948. God had to miraculously resurrect it to fulfil Biblical prophecy.

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to find out what is ahead.

THE MAN WHOSE BOOKS INTRODUCED MANY TO JESUS CHRIST

Posted on by

C. S. Lewis is one of Christianity’s most respected voices: whether as a fantasy writer whose stories have reached hundreds of millions or as an apologist and lay theologian who may be the most quoted Christian today. But what made the C. S. Lewis we all know and love? A film from the Fellowship for Performing Arts (FPA) tastefully and compellingly presents Lewis’s journey from convinced atheist to the titan of the Christian faith that he is today.

There is little doubt that C. S. Lewis will go down as one of the most influential Christian writers and minds of all time — certainly of the past few hundred years. Lewis is especially well known for writing the legendary Chronicles of Narnia, the seven-book high fantasy series which is among the most impactful book series of the last hundred years. In terms of sheer numbers (and depending on who is counting), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950) alone is in the top eight, top ten, or top fifteen best-selling books of all time. It trails only religious texts like The Bible, The Qur’an, The Book of Mormon and The Little Red Book, masterpieces like A Tale of Two Cities (1859) and Alice in Wonderland (1865), and modern sensations like Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone (1997). The entire series has sold some 120 million copies.

Between 2005 and 2010, three of the Narnia books — The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader — were made into blockbuster films on the same scale as The Lord of the Rings (with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe outperforming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the North American Box Office).

While Lewis may not have penned the most popular books of all time, he can lay claim to being a major influence on those who did. J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was rated the United Kingdom’s “most beloved book” in 2003, but famously, it was Lewis who pressed Tolkien to write the magisterial work.

The Screwtape Letters (1942), an ingenious novel-style devotional book, arguably popularised a new genre — “demonic epistolary fiction” — and has sold millions of copies around the world. The Fellowship of Performing Arts also has plans to adapt the book to film, with production to begin in 2027. In 2000, Christianity Today named Screwtape among its top 100 books of the century.

Not to be outdone, Lewis’s Mere Christianity (1952), adapted from Second World War BBC broadcasts, took the title of the “Book of the Century”. The short, systematic, and brilliantly accessible work of apologetics has been translated into thirty-six languages and sold over three and a half million copies globally.

In this video Gavin Ortlund shares about why he loves C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength, and why it is a helpful and important book for Christians today.

HOW DO YOU VIEW THE WORLD?

Posted on by

Peter Diamandis of Metatrends and Moonshots YouTube video fame chooses to view the world through the lens of evolution and abundance. I choose to look at it through God’s lens, the Bible. Why? Because it tells me what is really going on in this Cosmos and even more important it reveals the future.

Lets look at Peter’s latest report from the lens of abundance: This coming week, my next collaboration with the amazing Steven Kotler is being released (April 14th) called “We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance.” We Are As Gods tells the continuing story of Abundance, both the upside and the downside, but most importantly provides a survival guide on how to navigate the decade ahead. The book offers a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, charting humanity’s ascent from scarcity to “superabundance”… and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.

Now Let’s Talk About Some New “Proof of Abundance”

I’ve started doing something new on my Moonshots podcast: searching for and discussing recent breakthroughs or announcements that indicate how we’re transforming scarcity into superabundance on an ever-increasing basis.

This week, five stories caught my attention. Not because they’re flashy. Because they’re undeniable.

1. Renewables Hit the Halfway Mark

Renewables just crossed 49.4% of global electricity capacity. Let me say that again: nearly half of all electricity generation capacity on Earth is now renewable. Solar drove 75% of new additions, bringing the total to 5.15 terawatts. We’re at the halfway mark and the curve is accelerating. This isn’t some future projection. This is today. The energy transition is already here.

2. Lithium Battery Prices: Down 99%

In 1991, a lithium battery cost $10,000. And today? Less than $100. That’s a 99% price drop. Remember all those conversations about whether we could afford enough batteries to electrify transportation? Those are ancient history. The market solved it. Scale solved it. Technology solved it. And we’re not done: new battery chemistries are coming that will drive costs even lower. Every electric vehicle on the road is proof that Abundance doesn’t require central planning. It requires innovation and competition.

3. Lab-Grown Diamonds Below $1,000

The average price of a two-carat lab-grown diamond has fallen below $1,000: down 80% since January 2020. Compare that to a natural diamond at $22,000 to $28,000 for the same size. So much for De Beers. And yes, De Beers’ 3-months-salary campaign was one of the most successful PR brain-washings in history. They convinced generations that scarcity equals value. But technology doesn’t care about marketing. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical, optically perfect, and produced without child labor. Abundance wins.

4. AI Created 640,000 New Jobs

AI created 640,000 new jobs in the United States between 2023 and 2025, mostly in categories that didn’t exist three years ago. Not replacing jobs. Creating jobs. This is the pattern we’ve seen with every major technology transition: short-term disruption, long-term expansion. The printing press, the steam engine, electricity, the internet – all of them were supposed to end work. All of them created more opportunity than they destroyed. AI is no different. The question isn’t whether jobs will exist. It’s whether you’re building skills for the new categories or clinging to the old ones.

5. Robots + AI = Energy Abundance / The Maximo Robot

Four Maximo robots are installing 100 megawatts of solar capacity in the California desert at one panel per minute. Think about that for a second. Robots deploying renewable energy autonomously, at scale, faster than humans ever could. Once you get robots, energy, and AI all reinforcing one another, Abundance stops being theoretical. It becomes mechanical. Inevitable.

And this isn’t just a Western phenomenon. Pakistan is now generating most of its energy via solar. Solar is exploding across Africa. This is global. This is real. This is happening whether you’re paying attention or not.

The Pattern

Abundance is a pattern across multiple domains: Materials. Manufacturing. Employment. Computation. Every one of them follows the same trajectory: exponential improvement, collapsing costs, expanding access. That’s not coincidence. That’s the signature of our exponential times, the signature of increasing Abundance.

But here’s perhaps the most important question:

How does society design institutions that distribute this Abundance in a reasonable way?

Technology creates Abundance. Institutions decide who captures it. Markets, governments, legal frameworks: those are the systems that determine whether Abundance pools at the top or spreads broadly. We have the technology.

Do we have the wisdom to build institutions that match it? I think the answer is No in a world that has jettisoned God and His laws.

This is where looking through a Biblical prophetic lens is best. It reveals that we are fast approaching the end of this era when Satan has ruled planet Earth. Satan’s last strategy is shortly to play out. He empowers a man (Antichrist/Beast) who will rule the world for 3 1/2 years (42 months) prior to Jesus return to rescue Israel and restore righteousness at the battle of Armageddon..

“The dragon (Satan) gave the beast (Antichrist) his power and his throne and great authority… People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast… The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.” Revelation 13:2,3,5

Economic control is imposed with the mark of the Beast on the forehead or hand: a universal, mandatory mark (or its equivalent: the name or number of the beast) linked to worship of the beast’s image. Without it, commerce is impossible.

The ultimate outcome is also clear: the Antichrist’s rule ends with Christ’s return.

“And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him (Jesus Christ) who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image.” Revelation 19:19-20

There are many prophetic Scriptures about what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth. It is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Jesus will rule the nations of this world with the glorified Saints for 1000 years. The nation God established for His purposes will finally fulfil its destiny with their Messiah, Jesus ruling and reigning the nations with a rod of iron. It is a transition period before the second resurrection, followed by the White Throne judgement (Revelation 20:13-15) and then a new Heaven and a new Earth (Revelation 21) where only the righteous dwell.

THE CHURCH HAS LOST ITS FEAR OF GOD

Posted on by

The real issue before us today is not differences in style or methods, but whether the Church still fears God enough to proclaim his truth without compromise.

Church Has Lost Fear of God

In Orange, NSW, Australia, the Easter “Family” Festival organisers used banners promoting the event with the word “Easter” barely visible. On Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, the festival that should have been a clear, unapologetic proclamation of the crucified and risen Christ, the redeemer of sinful humanity, was diluted, softened, reshaped – and made “safe.”

On Resurrection Sunday, the very foundation of our faith, the event without which there is no Christianity, the highlight at one local church was a helicopter dropping 7,000 Easter eggs on the church lawn for the excited crowd.

The concern isn’t about the eggs – it’s about what is central. What will the children remember? Christ crucified and risen? Or the excitement of getting lots of chocolate Easter eggs? 

Charles Spurgeon was right: “The Church exists for the glory of God, not for the entertainment of men.”

When did the Church forget that? Surely, we knew it once. Easter is not ambiguous. It is not cultural. It is not a generic “family-friendly” moment designed to entertain. It is the central declaration of the Christian faith: Christ died for sin and every person is commanded to repent.  

“He was pierced for our transgressions…” — Isaiah 53:5
“God commands all people everywhere to repent.” — Acts 17:30 

Losing the Fear of God to the Fear of Man

Somewhere along the way, the Church has lost the weight of what it has been entrusted with. The day that proclaims Christ crucified and risen – the day that declares victory over sin and death – has been reshaped to make it acceptable to a world that does not know him.

The gospel is offensive. Yes. But it is the gospel that Jesus himself preached.

It confronts sin. It calls for repentance. It declares that man is not good, and that salvation is found in Christ alone. Yet, instead of standing on that truth with holy conviction, many have chosen to present it in a way that avoids offence and maximises appeal.

But the call of God has never been to make the message acceptable – or to entertain the crowds. The Apostle Paul said, “I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). And again, “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort” (2 Timothy 4:2). 

Consider Daniel. In captivity, and under pressure to conform, he “resolved that he would not defile himself” (Daniel 1:8).

He would not bow to the culture. He would not dilute his obedience. He would not trade faithfulness for acceptance.

Not even in something as seemingly small as food.

When commanded not to pray, he opened his windows and prayed to God as he always had – even at risk of his life (Daniel 6:10). Yet he rose to positions of authority in two empires: without once compromising his faith.

God honours those who honour him (1 Samuel 2:30).

But today, many in the Church bend where Daniel stood firm. 

They soften, they accommodate, they adjust. Not under threat of death. Not under persecution, but under the pressure of culture, attendance, and public acceptance.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching…” (2 Timothy 4:3).

That time is here.

Church Compromise over Biblical Conviction

The decline of the Western world is not accidental; it is the fruit of a Church that has too often chosen silence and compromise where God’s word demands truth and boldness.

The Great Commission was not about drawing crowds and entertaining them. It was a command: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). That command has not changed. The Church must come back to holiness. Come back to the Word of God. Come back to the fear of the Lord. Come back to the bold, unashamed proclamation of Jesus Christ – crucified for our sin, and raised to life by the power of God. The tragedy is not that the world rejects the truth; it always has. The tragedy is that the Church, more often than not, no longer has the courage to proclaim it as written. It is a fearful thing to handle the Word of God lightly: he will not overlook the dilution of his truth.

Those entrusted to preach his word will give an account. Not for how well they were received, but for how faithfully they proclaimed. It is the truth – not the compromise – not the spectacle – that sets men free.

Lord, search us, correct us, and bring us back to holiness.
