“Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.”
1 Corinthians 6:9

Last night, Noel Tang shared an insightful and timely message during Family First Malaysia’s Zoominar, entitled “Don’t Get Scammed: Outsmarting AI-Powered Fraud.”

His presentation highlighted a growing concern in our digital world. While AI has brought remarkable benefits, it has also enabled scammers to create convincing fake voices, messages, and impersonations that can deceive even the most cautious individuals.

As I reflected on his message, I was reminded of Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 against unrighteousness, including theft, greed, and swindling. Although the methods of deception have changed dramatically, the sinful motives behind them remain the same: dishonesty, greed, and the desire to profit at another person’s expense.

Technology itself is morally neutral. What matters is the heart and intention of the person using it. The same AI that can improve lives can also become a powerful instrument of deception when placed in dishonest hands.

Yet this message challenges us to look beyond protecting ourselves from scams. As followers of Christ, we are called not only to recognise deception but also to reject dishonesty in our own lives.

In a world where seeing and hearing no longer guarantee authenticity, we must exercise greater discernment. Before trusting an urgent request or transferring money, we should pause, verify the information, and seek wise counsel. We must also protect the elderly and vulnerable, who may be especially susceptible to sophisticated scams.

Above all, let us remember that integrity is not merely about avoiding wrongdoing; it is about choosing to honour God in everything we do.

Technology will continue to evolve, but God’s truth remains unchanged. May we be wise enough to recognise deception, courageous enough to stand for truth, and faithful enough to reflect Christ’s character in an increasingly digital world. In an age when technology can imitate voices, faces, and messages, may our lives bear an unmistakably genuine witness to the truth of Christ.

Prayer: 
Heavenly Father, grant us wisdom to discern truth from deception. Protect us and our loved ones from fraud, and guard our hearts against greed and dishonesty. Help us walk in integrity, stand firmly for truth, and reflect Your character in all we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

在人工智能时代防范欺骗

“你们岂不知不义的人不能承受神的国吗？不要自欺。”
哥林多前书 6:9

昨晚，鄧诺尔弟兄在马來西亚家庭第一举办的线上讲座中，分享了一篇及时且发人深省的信息，主题为 “不要上当：智胜人工智能诈骗。”

他的分享突显了数码世界中日益严重的一个问题。虽然人工智能带来了许多显著的益处，却也让诈骗者能够制造逼真的假声音、讯息和身份冒充，甚至连最谨慎的人也可能受骗。

当我思想他的信息时，我想起保罗在哥林多前书 6:9–10 中对不义行为的警告，其中包括偷窃、贪婪和诈骗。虽然欺骗的方式已经发生了巨大的变化，但背后的罪恶动机仍然相同：不诚实、贪婪，以及以牺牲他人为代价谋取利益的欲望。

科技本身在道德上是中性的。真正重要的是使用科技之人的内心和动机。同样的人工智能既可以改善人们的生活，也可能落入不诚实之人的手中，成为强大的欺骗工具。

然而，这篇信息也挑战我们，不要只停留在保护自己免受诈骗的层面。作为基督的跟随者，我们不仅要辨认欺骗，也要拒绝在自己的生活中行不诚实的事。

在一个单凭看见和听见已无法保证真实性的世界里，我们必须更加谨慎地分辨。在相信紧急请求或转账之前，我们应当先停下来，核实资料，并寻求有智慧之人的意见。我们也必须保护年长者和弱势群体，因为他们可能更容易受到复杂诈骗的影响。

最重要的是，让我们记住：正直不仅是不做错事，更是在我们所做的一切事上选择尊荣上帝。

科技会不断发展，但上帝的真理永不改变。愿我们有智慧辨认欺骗，有勇气站在真理一边，并有忠心在日益数码化的世界中彰显基督的品格。在一个科技能够模仿声音、面貌和讯息的时代，愿我们的生命为基督的真理作出清晰而真实的见证。

祷告：    
天父，求祢赐给我们分辨真理与欺骗的智慧。求祢保护我们和所爱的人免受诈骗，也保守我们的心远离贪婪和不诚实。帮助我们行事正直，坚定地站在真理一边，并在一切所行的事上彰显祢的品格。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
