The fact is, if I have a caustic tone or say something that is bordering on offensive, more people will be more apt to read this, and perhaps even pick a fight.
And to be honest, as a blogger, that feels good.
But then I'm blogging for my glory, not God's. I think to blog for God's glory means to blog about God's glory in a way that is attractive - that makes you actually want to read it instead of skimming it.
The latter's a skill. I may or may not have it. But as a blogger, it's hard to resist the temptation to stir up trouble so that I'll feel good.
SO - there it is. Hopefully, there'll be no caustic tones, no calling out specific people, no starting fights, no divisions - just the glory of the risen Christ.
I'll praise God and the cross on this one even though I'm not even aware that some of that goes on.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I can see how even talking about theology or the church can be quite distracting from the cross and bring a focus to people.
so thanks!
