The text below is taken from the Always Ready blog. The text has spoken to me a lot and has changed a lot about me. My hope in translating it is that God can use it to talk to more bloggers. After reading it, I came to two conclusions:
1) I will only write something about a particular person if I have prayed for it and tried to talk to them especially in advance.
- 2) I need to stop blogging so long and spend more time with God.
- I’m ashamed to think I can spend hours writing articles for the blog or making videos for my YouTube page and I can’t even spend half of that.
- In communion with God.
God has mercy on all of us
Convert to the Lord and we will be converted; renews our days as before [Lm 5:21; ACF]
I’m more than that, I’m deeply saddened, why?I am tired of the sin that occurs in the name of God, in the virtual world of the “blogosphere”. All this reminds me of a fight in kindergarten. In the name of the struggle for truth, Christians literally bite and devour themselves in an extremely sinful way. Blogs are created to report bugs, leading others to create more blogs to report errors from early blogs. The struggle for truth has become something closer to wrestling, Christians literally spend hours and hours a day in front of their computer screens exchanging punches and punches, in all this God has been forgotten, and the wonderful, invigorating and congratulatory message of the Gospel, which it truly deserves to be defended, has been lost in war.
Brothers and sisters, I firmly believe that God is not satisfied with the vast majority of what is posted on blogs on his behalf. Because? For there is no humility in writing and very little sense of our own fragility and susceptibility to sin (Isaiah 66:1-2). There is no feeling of sadness for sin, but rather a sinful, almost joyful ease in pointing out the mistakes of others. Everyone wants to be a prophet, they just don’t want to know God. Everyone wants to be Paul Washer, they just don’t want to spend hours and hours studying the Word of God, looking for the face of God in prayer and growing, according to Him as Paul Washer does. . It is certainly fun to fill the air with harsh words against sin, but no one wants to face sin in their own hearts. Everyone wants to be a prophet, they just don’t want to waste their time knowing God. After all, condemning sin and defending the truth is much more fun.
What’s the result? We have many amateur prophets. Old Testament prophets were men of God who could hear His voice. They often wept for the weight of their mission, but God had given it to them, and they could do nothing but speak (Jeremiah 23:9). -10) Yes, is the burden of denouncing sin heavy, is it heavy for you?Or is it fun? The ancient prophets were saddened by the sin of their listeners and the hardness of their hearts and literally wept for their blindness and judgment to come. When was the last time you cried for someone’s rebellion and the sin you were talking about?I dare say: for many of us, never.
Most painful of all is that God was abandoned in favor of defending His Word, in our zeal to defend the truth we have forgotten from him whom we must love above all else, we honor him with our writings, but I fear that our hearts are often far from him. How do I know? Although I cannot see hearts, I can see fruits (the mouth speaks of what the heart is full of), and they do not resemble holiness.
God doesn’t need our blogs. How stupid we are if we think our blogs are essential to the life of the Church and to God’s eternal purpose. God certainly does not need us, but He wants our love and devotion. Do you want to know him?Or are you more satisfied with handling the plastic sword on your keyboard?
If you read this article and think of someone who needs regrets, you lose it and confirm my point. My point is: look at your own heart. Look at yourself.
If you are a blogger who truly loves the Lord and wants to please you, I strongly suggest that you step back and examine your heart. Turn off the computer and get down on your knees. Spend your time writing on blogs to stay with God. Then go out and minister to real, flesh-and-blood people. Be Christ to be someone who suffers or is in need. I’m afraid if something doesn’t change, we’ll just go further. in disputes and defamations, which will eventually lead to total futility and irrelevance to the kingdom of God. I end with the Lord’s words in Revelation 2:
“These are the words of those who have the seven stars in their right hand and walk among the seven golden chandeliers. I know his work, his hard work and his perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate the wicked, that you have tried those who claim to be apostles but are not, and that you have discovered that they are impostors; have endured and endured pain by my name, and have not fainted.
Against you, however, I have this: you have abandoned your first love Remember where you fell!Repent and practice the works you did at first, if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your brilliance from its place, but there is one thing in your favor: you hate the practices of the Nicolaites. , since I hate them too.
He who has heard hears what the Spirit says to the churches; I will give the victor the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in God’s paradise.
