I spent years both working in companies and running my own business, and perhaps because of that background, I’ve always had a very practical way of thinking. When personal computers first appeared, I didn’t hesitate—I bought an IBM XT in 1981 and started using it by trial and error, fumbling with the two floppy drives. Learning computers early on became a tremendous advantage for me in business, in my studies, in ministry, and in teaching.
When I entered seminary, I was the only Korean student who owned a computer. And when the internet first emerged, I had just begun my teaching career. While many people were calling it the devil’s tool, I learned how to build a website from my son, who was in high school at the time. I uploaded all my lecture materials and resources to my site, and wherever I went, I simply accessed the website to teach. Because students could get all the lecture notes online, I didn’t need to raise my voice or lecture endlessly. Instead, class time became a creative space where students actively participated.
I believe AI is no different. Everything is given by God, and when we receive it with gratitude and use it for His glory, it becomes a blessing. A wise general knows how to turn a formidable enemy into a friend.
