[Hubpages update] A simple way to earn passive income from your writing

How to use ChatGPT for Bible study [4 ways]
Today I'm sharing 4 different ways that I've been using a new AI tool called Chat GPT for Bible study. It's a really fascinating tool and I'm excited to share with you to see how it can help you out in your Bible study. Chat GPT is a free AI tool that that has infinite possibilities, but today we are talking specifically about how we can use it to help us quickly search for Bible verses, generate summaries or outlines of Bible passages and even answer questions about what was going on in the world when a specific book of the Bible was written. It's been a great tool to help me in my Bible study and you might find it helpful as well. The first way I've been using it is to ask, "What does the Bible say about blank?" This has been really helpful to quickly search for different Bible verses on a specific topic. All you have to do is type in the topic and it will spit out different Bible verses that relate to it. The second way I've been using Chat GPT is to ask, "Are there any Bible verses that support this "blank"?" I can paste in a section of text I wrote and it will provide me with Bible verses that can help support my point. This has been really helpful because sometimes there are verses that I can't remember but this tool can help me out. The third way I've been using Chat GPT is to generate summaries or outlines of specific Bible passages. For example, I asked it "What's the meaning of the parable of the talents?" and it provided me with a great summary of the parable and the lesson it teaches us. If you wanna try it out, you just need to go to chat.openai.com and create a free account. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this tool and how you're using it in your Bible study. Let me know by sending me a DM on Instagram. Thanks for joining me on today's episode and I'll see you in the next one!

C.S. Lewis' 1 rule about giving
I decided to dig into what C.S. Lewis, the great theologian, had written about money over his years of writing. And I was fascinated by what I found. One of the most striking things was that in all his studies of the Word, he boiled all his thoughts and beliefs about Biblical giving and generosity down to one simple rule that we all can follow.

How I gave away $1,000,000
When Linda and I tied the knot, we set a goal for ourselves: to give away as much money as possible. We knew that with God's help, anything is possible. Even though we didn't have much to begin with, by His grace we managed to give away a $1 million by the time we hit 40. None of this would have been possible without God's grace. And the only way we were able to keep track of our progress was by monitoring what we call our 'Net Given' - it's a number that's crucial to keep an eye on. Check out this episode for more on all of this!

You probably think you know how much you earn per hour, but almost everyone is wrong.

Ep 215If you are facing challenges right now, listen to this
Are you facing a huge challenge right now? I happened to grab the classic devotional "Streams in the Desert" (https://amzn.to/3Nvg36x) off my shelf and was reading October 29th's entry. This short entry blessed me immensely. Just knowing that there is a purpose in the struggle is incredibly encouraging. It is comforting knowing that in the midst of the heat, and even when it feels unbearable, God is sitting right there with us. And that He is carefully making sure that the heat is removing the impurities and allowing us to be made pure and holy so that we better reflect His glory. If you are in the heat right now, know that God hasn't left you, but that He is nearby and doing a work that will leave you stronger and more precious.
