Blogs [something to think about]
Submitted by jimmybritt on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 4:31pm.
If you read pastor's blogs [and I do] and you know more about what's going on in those churches than your own, something is wrong. For example - I go to Gary Lamb's blog regularly to see what he's up to (and Revolution Church). But if I know more about his church and his vision for reaching his community than I do about the vision and activities of my church then something is wrong. Point: You could grow your church [ministry position] larger if you would spend more time working and less time reading blogs and twittering. Just something to think about... That came to while listening to Nelson Searcy's Time Management resource at www.churchleaderinsights.com. |

Thanks for the reminder
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the reminder.
I'm from Malaysia, and regularly follow quite a number of blogs on my feedreader (including yours), but recognise the importance of not getting overly distracted by them.
I certainly don't want all my testimonies to just be about stuff I read on the internet!
Blah-ging
Amen!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself. It applies to everybody!
The "internet", for many it is a powerful tool. For many more it is a powerful vacuum.
My take on "blogging": If you feel that the world needs to know your thoughts or whatever you're doing, don't be gutless and always add the disclaimer that you can change your mind whenever you want. What's that for? Is it in case someone wants to hold you accountable for your own actions? As soon as you decide to unleash your thoughts on the world, it becomes an action. I must have heard something about accountability once in a good sermon.
You wrote once, "Any time God speaks to you write it down. Then tell someone else." How about: Anytime God speaks to you, listen, then do what he says! Your actions will tell many.
Damn! I think I just got caught reading a blog.
