Fishing for Blogs?

Blogging is something that is gaining in popularity especially among the young. So I’ve joined the trend, yet know full well that I may be the only reader. It’s a journal, my diary, a way to gain comment on the day and pettiness’ I have experienced and felt important to write about. It’s a stream of consciousness, some may even say therapy.

I spent some time looking for other Christian blogs... I got borred.

An important comment was made in an article written last year on “anglicansonline”. They asked who wants to spend the time reading so much drivel? Time is not something many of us have to spare. Check out the full article on Christian blogging here: http://morgue.anglicansonline.org/040215/

So I guess making the most of our time is essential in our daily walk (flight :-). I mentioned today in my sermon that fishing for people takes time and effort and that the responsibility rests with our repentance and then our action. Fishing takes effort and more than just one person (Andrew & Simon, James & John). In some ways the reading of blogs is a two person activity, if not a community, as interaction bears witness and response. It causes us to think. It’s interactive. It can also be a waste of time.

We should measure how we spend our time. Listening to others is important online, but even more so with others in “real” relationships. How much time are we spending with God in order to enable us to fish for his people?
