Key Words
Language is a carrier of knowledge, as well as a vessel for thoughts and emotions. —ChatGPT
As AI technology rapidly evolves, instead of just discussing whether AI will replace us, perhaps we should consider how to use it effectively. A new role has emerged: "prompt engineering." After all, to make AI serve us efficiently, it requires well-crafted instructions and prompts. Therefore, using the right ”keywords“ is truly key.
As an editor, I can deeply understand this.
One of the defining features of the KRC magazine is the synergy between images and text. After an article is refined, the text editor collaborates with the art editor to select the most fitting images that highlight key points. But how does one navigate the vast sea of images to find those with depth and aesthetic appeal? The answer lies in using keywords for search. Of course, the real challenge for an editor is distilling hundreds or even thousands of words into just one or two keywords—transforming highly abstract concepts into "visual form".
What image can presentThe author and his words accompany the heart?When Farewell and Reunion Overlap-- what kind of image would it be?
In fact, this is not only a challenge in selecting images for an article but also a test for all followers of Christ—distilling vast truths into concrete concepts, not just speaking them but also living them out. The truth we believe in, and the transformed life that comes from trusting in it, must be made visible. This issue’s articles offer a glimpse into that very idea.
The "Kingdom Stewardship" section,Building a Ladder to Heaven Through Reading, Huai Chen Ting, the president of Grace Publishing House, shares how he and his team bring their inherited mission and vision to life through tangible, readable books that appear in readers' lives. The "Knowledge and Practice" section,Our God, Our Song, uses a musical performance as a metaphor to discuss unity among Christians and the church. This is an article in the Family section, for example:Marks of Grace, records different life experiences and insights; reports in the Neighbor section, for example:Messengers of peace in the midst of war, from kingdom workers who practice the Great Commission and the Great Commandment with faith and courage.
These are all tangible testimonies of how authors and interviewees have made their faith and lives visible.
This issue's focus article --Planned Giving: Sustaining Love and Impact, an interview with financial expert Elder Mindy Ying effectively conveys KRC's annual theme - God, People, Things, and Me: Multiple Connections, Abundant Fruits. When we connect with God and plan and use resources with a steward's heart, we can tangibly express intangible love, bless people for the long term, and become a visible and palpable influence
In order for people to know the Father, the Word was made visible—becoming flesh, dwelling among us. Through Jesus, the ultimate "keyword", humanity can find the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
This is also the commitment of the KRC magazine team: to visualize the vastness of God’s kingdom through words and images, inspiring and encouraging readers to live out their faith—becoming the keywords that guide others toward the truth.
