Blogging for God

Being new to this whole blogging thing I have discovered a couple of truths.

1) Blogging can be a huge waste of time.

You can literally spend hours going from blog to blog being drawn in to reading dribble. There is such foolishness in a multitude of blogs...yet one keeps reading.

You can get caught up in arguments/debates that leave no room for answers. People pushing their opinions without backing them up with Scripture. They also twist Scripture to try and make it agree with their current hobby horse position. They lack a true desire to learn and let the Scriptures speak to them because they are so busy peddling their own, culturally supported stances. Those discussions are very frustrating.

Having sickness in the home this week has given me more time to read than I should have. There are so many more valuable things to do with our time than getting caught up in that.

2) Blogging can be educational, reforming and life changing.

I am currently appreciating a number of blogs by Christian women who put Christ first in their lives. They are stay at home mothers, homeschoolers, lovers of their husbands, workers in the church, true servants of Christ.

There are also a number of theologically based blogs out there which discuss the finer points of doctrine. I find those very interesting and educational. They challenge me as a Christian and help sharpen me so that I might continue to know God more. A worthy pursuit.

Blogging is a huge part of the internet experience and therefore part of our lives. It is another thing for us to do in moderation. Now that is the challenge, isn't it?
