the blogging church members

Blogging church members are becoming more common these days. It is a new paradigm for the pastor. I personally think it's cool for Christians and church goers to blog, but I also know that it comes with responsibility as well.

As a pastor and blogger and pastor of bloggers I think a few words of caution are in order.

If you blogg...

1. Remember once your words are on the Internet, they will NEVER come off.

You write your thoughts with a permanent marker for the whole world to see.
Be open and honest but not too open and honest. It's a blog not a therapy session.

2. Write your passions.

What moves you? What stirs you? There is only one you and you are pretty interesting with a unique perspective.

3. Allow the Lord to use your blog.

It's not all about you. Share testimonies, praise reports, prayer request, etc. Keep lifting Jesus up. You never know who will stumble upon your site.

Anyway, just a few thoughts from a fellow blogger and pastor.

-PST
