I have been wrestling for a while trying to determine what to do with my time online. I have a blog, Facebook, Twitter, and any other given number of social apps that are hit and miss when it comes to purpose. At times I don’t interact with them at all, and other times the content is poor.
But I’m not a throw the baby out with the bath water kind of guy. I love spending time online and interacting with others.
Here is what I’ve decided:
I can use my presence online for the glory of God and the good of people. There’s a way that I can pastor online, and that’s what I’m going to do.
My new vision for social networking and the blog is this:
To focus on discipleship in a way that leads to mission.
- We’re going to talk a lot of theology. Above that, we’re going to grapple with the implications of what we believe. Basically, what should we believe and how should we live it out.
- I’m going to post 5 days a week. Maybe more, but at least 5.
- I’m going to share a lot more of my personal struggles and victories through my blog.
- I want the blog to be a conversation, not an online journal.
- I’m going to be more concerned with content I put into Facebook than with what I’m getting out.
That’s that.
