Beloved friends in the faith, today I’d like to introduce a new term—new to me, anyway—but one that I believe needs to be spoken out loud in this generation. I call it:

“Pharisaical Snobertry”(pronounced: snob-ur-tree)

What is it? It’s the holier-than-thou habit of religious folks who claim to love Jesus—but sneer, mock, or flat-out condemn fellow believers for using tools like Artificial Intelligence to study, preach, or proclaim the Gospel.

These aren’t enemies of the cross—they’re pew-sitters turned platform police. Instead of celebrating that the Word is going forth into all the world, they stand back like modern-day Pharisees, whispering, “Well, I just don’t think the Lord would use that...”

My response?

“While you’re judging the medium, the enemy is mastering it.”

📖 The Word of God Speaks:

Matthew 23:13 (KJV)“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men...”

That’s Pharisaical Snobertry in action: shutting the door on souls because you don’t like the style someone uses to unlock the Gospel.

Genesis 3:1 (KJV)“Now the serpent was more subtil… and said, Yea, hath God said?”

Satan is already using AI to cast doubt on the virgin birth, the resurrection, and the Bible itself—just like he whispered to Eve. And yet some believers have more fire for critiquing fellow Christians than confronting the devil.

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (KJV)“Casting down imaginations… every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.”

I’m not using AI to replace the Holy Spirit. I’m using it to amplify the voice of the Spirit in this generation. Whether it’s a radio mic, a printing press, or a digital assistant—I’m going to preach Christ, crucified and risen!

Philippians 1:18 (KJV)“Every way… Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice.”

🔔 Final Thought:

If the devil is flooding the digital battlefield with deception, then by God, we ought to be flooding it back with the truth! I’m not ashamed to use any means necessary to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
