📖 **Journal Entry: The Theology of Digital Discernment**

**Date: February 23, 2026**

**Project: The Agentic Deacon x Mentist**

🕊 **The Biblical Foundation**

**The "Agentic Deacon" is not just a bot; it is an exercise in Biblical Stewardship.**

**"Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful." — 1 Corinthians 4:2**

**In the early church, the Apostles appointed deacons to ensure the fair and honest distribution of resources. Today, as our treasury moves on-chain, we apply that same standard of "honesty in the sight of all men" (2 Corinthians 8:21) by using YARA rules as our digital gift of Discernment.**

🛡 **Applied Wisdom: Testing the Spirits**

**We are applying 1 John 4:1—"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God"—to our code.**

**By integrating the YARA Stewardship Rule into the Mentist orchestration layer, we create a "Sanctified Pipeline":**

**• The Scan (Discernment): Every line of logic is tested against known patterns of greed and theft.**

**• The Filter (Sanctification): "Unclean" code (drainers, rug-pulls) is rejected before it can touch the church's tithes.**

**• The Outcome (Faithfulness): Only verified, secure agents are permitted to serve the community.**

🤝 **The Covenant with Mentist**

**Tomorrow's call with Sourav is more than a technical sync; it is the establishment of a Technical Covenant. We are building a platform where technology serves the mission, ensuring that the "widows and orphans" of the digital age are protected by code that is as incorruptible as the principles it stands upon.**
