I Hope Nobody Reads This!

Wow, you came anyway! I don’t normally write negative comments on my blog but I must say recently, I came across a few blogs with some silly content on them. For the sake of brevity, I’ll just summarize them:

First off, a blog with a post stating that the person hopes that other blogs this person dislikes highlight him and then celebrate when they do pointing out how terrible those bloggers are. Uh, forgive me brother but you asked for it and then, you highlight how horrible such behavior is. No names needed. It was just plain silly.

Why do we have other blogs eager to criticize another guy for taking a different stand? I’ve seen this more lately from bloggers who are more on the “liberal” side of theology attacking those who have more conservative values. Granted, I’ve seen the same on the other side but lately, it’s been as I stated. Why do we do this? What is the point? Who really cares?

Here’s a clue. If you’re reaching people with your blog, why not state your case and convince me on the strength of your arguments rather than wasting valuable server space complaining about someone else? I read a number of blogs that I disagree with, even many church planting blogs. I don’t agree with their language, theology, their self-spouting Christian “liberty”, or their style but I’m not going to waste my life calling them out. I just write from the heart (as I’m doing now) and state my case from my own observations and for me, that’s enough. There are lost people who matter more to me than those I disagree with. The Apostle Paul stated that whatever the motive, Christ is preached. God will sort out the fakes from the real ones. I don’t have time.

Make your blog a place where people come to read what YOU’RE thinking about ministry, not about somebody else.
