Make an Album

How do I answer this? Maybe I could take control of the world and solve all its problems 😀.

But realistically, three things that I’ve thought about are these:

But I have a lot of music production applications on my computer and a good few instruments around the house. I rarely do anything apart from mess about with them. So, maybe today’s question will motivate me to do something creative. I’m hoping that low-cost or cheap artificial intelligence (AI) vocalists will be available soon because I hate the sound of my own voice 😀.

For my spiritual life, one thing that comes to mind is hymns. I love listening to hymns, but I’ve never attempted to write one. The biggest thing that’s always hindered my attempt to write songs is my appalling attempts to write lyrics. But nowadays, I can get the help of Microsoft Copilot. For example, I could ask it to write a poem based on John 3 and then put it to music.

Write a poem based on John 3

I won’t replicate what it gave me, but I was impressed. I could set it to music, tweak it, or even replace it. It’s only for my own use. Maybe in time, I could even write them afresh, without help from AI.

The final idea is more of a dream. I’d like to produce a very simple website that did nothing but present the minimal amount of information that someone needed to hear and respond to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It would be available in every language and would have a high profile. In its own way, this blog is a feeble attempt to do that sort of thing. But there are already many good resources out there. And nowadays, some might even just prefer to go to Microsoft Copilot and ask it directly.

Describe precisely and concisely the message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ

Again, I won’t replicate the answer that it gave me, but I was impressed. One thing I will say is that it quoted a Bible verse that I often use myself to summarize the gospel message.

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

I love to read about the history of Christian missionaries. But maybe we’re getting to a stage where the web and artificial intelligence (AI) can reach people that traditional missionaries would never get to.

Perhaps the Iranian authorities see Christianity as a threat to the unity and stability of the nation. In the past, many European nations persecuted or discriminated against religious minorities. Even here in Ireland, such things occurred, even in my own lifetime. In the North, Roman Catholics complained about discrimination. In the South, many Protestants emmigrated for fear of discrimination.

But it’s a pity when religion becomes a political or a tribal thing. I just like to see people exposed to the gospel message and having the opportunity to come to a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and having the freedom to worship together. Likewise, in historically Christian nations, people of other faiths should have the freedom to spread the message and worship together without fear of persecution or discrimination.

So, as usual, I’ll close with a couple of hymns:
