The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.
(Proverbs 15:8, ESV)
Continue Upright
by Charles Spurgeon
"The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; but the prayer of the upright is his delight." - Proverbs 15:8
This is as good as a promise, for it declares a present fact, which will be the same throughout all ages. God takes great pleasure in the prayers of upright men; He even calls them His delight. Our first concern is to be upright. Neither bending this way nor that, continue upright; not crooked with policy, nor prostrate by yielding to evil, be you upright in strict integrity and straightforwardness. If we begin to shuffle and shift, we shall be left to shift for ourselves. If we try crooked ways, we shall find that we cannot pray, and if we pretend to do so, we shall find our prayers shut out of heaven.
Are we acting in a straight line and thus following out the LORD’s revealed will? Then let us pray much and pray in faith. If our prayer is God’s delight, let us not stint Him in that which gives Him pleasure. He does not consider the grammar of it, nor the metaphysics of it, nor the rhetoric of it; in all these men might despise it. He, as a Father, takes pleasure in the lispings of His own babes, the stammerings of His newborn sons and daughters. Should we not delight in prayer since the LORD delights in it? Let us make errands to the throne. The LORD finds us enough reasons for prayer, and we ought to thank Him that it is so.

Dear Reader Welcome to "Sacred Text, Modern Tech: A Spiritual Dialogue." Have you ever wished you could listen in on someone else's Bible study? To hear their questions, doubts, and discoveries as they work through Scripture? That's exactly what I hope to share with you through these conversations. What you're about to read isn't polished or perfect. These are my real, unedited conversations exploring God's Word. I've chosen to preserve these dialogues in their raw form—questions, tangents, moments of confusion and all—because I believe there's value in witnessing the journey, not just the destination. Each conversation begins with a verse or passage that caught my attention or raised questions in my heart. From there, the dialogue unfolds naturally as I explore meaning, context, and application. You'll notice the format clearly distinguishes between my voice and Claude's responses, creating a back-and-forth that mirrors how many of us process Scripture—through discussion and reflection. Why share these conversations? Because too often, we only see the finished product of someone's spiritual insights, neatly packaged with all the messy parts removed. But faith doesn't usually work that way. Real spiritual growth happens in the wrestling, the questioning, and sometimes even the confusion. My hope is that these conversations accomplish several things: Demonstrate that asking questions about Scripture is not only acceptable but valuable Show how technology can become a meaningful tool for spiritual exploration Create a safe space where you might recognize your own questions and doubts Inspire you to engage more deeply with the Bible in your own way As you read, you might notice moments where my understanding evolves or where I struggle with concepts. That's intentional. I'm sharing my journey—not as an expert but as a fellow traveler on this path of faith. I invite you to approach these dialogues not as definitive commentaries but as companions to your own spiritual exploration. Perhaps they'll spark questions you haven't considered or shed light on passages you've wondered about. Thank you for joining me in this experiment of faith meets technology. I pray these conversations bless you as much as they've blessed me. Karan~
