As Christ-followers our heart's desire is to use every means possible to proclaim the good news. That's why so many of us choose to blog in a saturated market. We believe that it's another way to honor Christ with our lives.
Unfortunately, the old sin nature is still strong within us, and we have the capacity to say the wrong things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons, or the right things for the wrong reasons.
I've learned the hard way (in other words, through personal experience) that I must question and carefully dissect every post I write to make sure that it's of God.
Here are some questions I intend to ask myself with each and every post from here on out:
Is this post about me or God?
Is this post helpful to others?
Is this post about proving myself to others?
Is this post written to impress others?
Is this post written to prove I'm right and someone else is wrong?
Is this post written with love?
Does this post help advance the kingdom?
If you have other questions to add to the list, please leave a comment. We can learn from each other.
