People blog for many reasons. Some have godly motives; others do not. (A sidenote: for those of you reading this on Facebook, it is actually forwarded from www.philipanderson.wordpress.com). For Christians, blogging should be just as much an act of worship as the other areas of our life. Bob Kauflin has some wisdom for bloggers:
“Christians might blog on a variety of topics and for a number of reasons, but they share one common goal:
‘So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.’ (1 Cor. 10:31)
If God wants us to eat and drink for his glory, He certainly wants us to blog for the same reason. That means God has something to say about our content, attitude, and motive in blogging.
It’s not hard to find blogs that are filled with foul language, pornographic material, and useless information. But as Christians, we’re commanded to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8). That includes quite a bit. What it doesn’t include is saying whatever I feel like saying, rehearsing how lousy I feel, wallowing in self-pity, or stirring up unnecessary controversy. God says we’ll be held accountable for every word we speak — and blog.”
