An Exhortation for Christian Bloggers
Posted by: | CommentsI recently have had the opportunity to meet and become great friends with Doug Baker, who is now the editor of Baptist Messenger, Oklahoma’s third largest newspaper ….
He just wrote an editorial called On Baptist Blogging and it includes a great exhortation to all Christian bloggers, here’s a quote from it:
The challenge for the Christian blogger is to both expose and edify in a manner that obeys Jesus’ process of log and speck (Matt. 7:5). Far too often blogging can be both anonymous and autonomous, tricking the writer into thinking that what they write and how they respond represents true community and reality. The real test for great writing is not its spontaneity or immediacy. Rather it is the ability to write in a manner consistent with Christian doctrine and communicated in a manner that seeks to be salt and light in the midst of a very dark world. With this as the goal, there is hope that blogging might truly be used to the glory of God.
