Want to know real evolution? Not the false one created by Charles Darwin and continued in great error by many to this day. The evolution of the Church. The evolution of pastors.
Becoming celebrities. Materially wealthy. Huge followings. Idolized.
All the big ones are making sure they get luxury cruises scheduled. Making sure their social media reach is massive increasing their personal fame.
While the majority come out of seminaries, Bible colleges, and theology schools weak. Weak in the Word. Weak in the faith. They learn formula preaching. Template sermons. Not truly placing their trust in God, in the Holy Spirit. Opening joke or worldly illustration, something they are taught to capture their audience. The Word of God isn’t enough, you see. Entertainment is what is required. Then declare you have three main points, just as the last dozen, 100, 500 sermons had. Watch the clock. Make sure that 20 minutes later, you wrap it all up tidy with another illustration or joke.
In conjunction with the entropy of every denomination. In conjunction with the rise of false teachers and their unsound doctrines. Bringing the world in, paganism in, watering everything down, appeasing, pleasing evil and sin, refusing to call sin sin. Refusing to preach the whole Word of God.
Weak people getting into pastorship. Weak shepherds can’t protect or guide a flock. None of them of the caliber of a David who killed bears and lions to protect his flock. Why most can’t even slay any questions posed to them, difficulties of culture bleeding in, because they are weak in the Word of God.
Ken Ham’s last words in his article below are:
“If you’re a pastor, don’t take the easy way out. Labor in your preaching and teaching as God has commanded you to. Don’t outsource one of the most important aspects of your job—opening the Word for your flock—to a robot!”
The pitiful, tragic, abominable decline and evolution of pastors in America, in the West, is such, along with technological advancements, that it won’t be long before robots are at the pulpits preaching rather than men made in the image of God.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD.”
Amos 8:1
In such a time as this it is a storm tossed voyage upon the sea of apostasy, pirate gospels, treasure hunters, itching ears everywhere loving lies and abhoring the truth, slaves to technology, lethargy reigns, in such a time as at every turn it appears as if the heading is set only for Laodicea…
At the rate we’re going, if the LORD did not come to gather us to Him, those institutions called Christian churches would eventually have robots leading, speaking to those who came to listen — to the programmed words rather than those imbued by the Holy Spirit into the heart, mind, spirit, and soul of a man. It’s already robotic, without much evidence of the Spirit living in the places where the Word is supposed to be preached clearly, boldly, by men who ought to be led by the Holy Spirit of God rather than elements of the world.
Imagine how it will be a year from now, as AI increases, as apostasy increases, as we’re ever closer to the end of all things as they have been known. How it will be each passing year, should the LORD tarry.
Sadly, the overwhelming majority of those called pastors presently appear not to have truly received a divine calling from God, but it is their will be done, as it’s just a job to them. The current state of seminaries, Bible colleges, and theology schools, turning out such a crop, yields a weak harvest to be made into bread to feed the flocks as they rely more and more upon worldly means and technology rather than leaning into, placing all their trust in the LORD, in the whole Word of God, and in the Holy Spirit to be their Helper rather than AI.

‘Copy, Paste, Preach’: Should Pastors Be Using Artificial Intelligence To Write Sermons?
July 8, 2025
By Ken Ham
Reprinted from Harbinger’s Daily
Should pastors be using AI to write their sermons? I recently saw a website for a company that advertises itself as “Your AI-Powered Sermon Assistant” designed to help pastors “create better sermons in less time” using artificial intelligence.
A video on the website claims you can just type a word (like “forgiveness”) into the sermon builder tool and “instantly have a sermon ready to preach” and if you like the sermon “copy it, paste it, you’re ready to preach.” In other words, as a pastor you don’t even need to go to the Bible yourself to prep for your sermon—AI will do it all for you.
There are many good uses for AI—this is certainly not one of them! Yes, perhaps AI could be useful in pulling some cross-references, finding related passages, or pulling quotes to consider from church fathers (although resources to do all of these things already exist). But using AI to write sermons strips away a pastor’s wrestling with and studying of God’s Word. When a member of such a pastor’s flock comes to him for wisdom, counsel, and shepherding, he won’t know God’s Word to apply it properly!
And pastors surely should be praying (as any teaching pastor should do) for God’s guidance and wisdom as they build sermons. Be assured, AI doesn’t pray for any wisdom from God!
Contrast “copy, paste, preach” with these commands to pastors from God’s Word:
1 Timothy 5:17 KJV – “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.”
2 Timothy 4:2 KJV – “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.”
Titus 1:9 KJV – “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.”
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
The work of pastoring isn’t meant to be easy—it’s laboring; it’s having patience; it’s training to be ready. It’s a hard calling, but a worthy one for those who are willing to be trained by the Word of God.
If you’re a pastor, don’t take the easy way out. Labor in your preaching and teaching as God has commanded you to. Don’t outsource one of the most important aspects of your job—opening the Word for your flock—to a robot!
