The spiritual password that allows every believer in Jesus Christ to gain access to and increase in God’s grace—His unmerited favor, which doesn’t depend on their deeds, rites, or pilgrimages they are religiously told to perform in their lifetime.
The enemy doesn’t mind you having faith in an impersonal God, who decides your eternal destiny based on your earthly works; instead, only faith in the Holy Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—will enable you and empower you to fulfill your God-given purpose in life.

The name of an arguably mismanaged company, invariably defined by a range of unknowns or variables, such as the true value of its assets, the number of fake or spam accounts, the uncertain dismissal of more employees with declining ad revenue, its decision to allow hate speech on its platform, and its possible sale to a gullible or rogue owner to avoid bankruptcy.

When someone frequently asks themselves whether or not they could use the sine rule or any sine-related formula to solve an unfamiliar sexy-looking geometry or trigonometry question.
When asked before a group of math educators at a church meeting if he sees himself as sin-conscious, David was tongue-tied, because he’s not sure if it’s a math or morality question: Could they be asking him if he easily succumbs to temptation when, say, seeing a scantily clad woman in public or on Facebook or on magazine covers?

The maternal equivalent of “girl math.” When mentally stressed, resourceful, or street-smart mothers share tips on digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram how they plan their hectic schedules around their children’s sleeping or waking hours, or how they stretch their money to meet their little ones’ needs and wants, without experiencing a mental meltdown.
Mom math is applying home calculus to the family life, by maximizing love, joy, and peace (or minimizing fear, pain, and stress) for family members from limited time or resources.

When you are mathematically tickled why you have been experiencing an aha! on or about the number π pretty frequently recently—for no logical or valid reasons, it is as if pi seems to be infatuated with you.
Besides coming up with a few sexy proofs on some pi-related theorems, I spotted my birthdate and my cellphone number 31,415 digits apart among the first ten thousand digits in the decimal number pi. Sounds like a sign from on high that makes me wonder: “Does Pi love me?”

The use or misuse of AI to generate free algebra questions, most of which are quasi-plagiarized from social media platforms, where unknowns, variables, or parameters are represented by look-alike logos or trademarked symbols.
On querying ChatGPT to produce a sample of middle-school AI-gebra questions, Mr. Pinocchio was greeted with the following:
1. Solve these equations.
a) 𝕏 = 𝕏 + 1
b) 5 + 4x = 4(x – 2)
2. Find 𝕏 for which (𝕏 + 3)² = 𝕏² + 9.
3. Solve the following:
(i) 𝕏(2𝕏 + 3) = 2𝕏(𝕏 + 3)
(ii) (x + 2)² = x² + 4x + 3
1. Solve these equations.
a) 𝕏 = 𝕏 + 1
b) 5 + 4x = 4(x – 2)
2. Find 𝕏 for which (𝕏 + 3)² = 𝕏² + 9.
3. Solve the following:
(i) 𝕏(2𝕏 + 3) = 2𝕏(𝕏 + 3)
(ii) (x + 2)² = x² + 4x + 3

Overvalued or inflated numbers or percents issued by an unscrupulous or corrupt businessperson, so that their rogue or shady businesses could secure better loan terms and insurance deals, and would pay lesser tax.
