Recently Dan at Cerulean Sanctum (http://www.dedelen.com/cerulean.html) asked the question is Christian blogging a waste of time. He pointed out that there are now millions of blogs and a glut of stuff on the Web. Here's my response:
Hi Dan,
I blog because I would explode if I didn't. It's cheap therapy, which helps me process the journey going on in my head. My blog (www.organicfaith.com) is part of my walk with God and a way for those close to me to stop in and see what is really going on inside of my head and heart. We are busy people nowadays, and it can be hard to stay connected with all the rush, rush, rush of life.
My blog focuses on seeing God in everyday life. It deals with my struggles to survive my journey of faith. Hopefully, it encourages others on their mission too.
I have learned a ton from what others have written on their blogs, including Cerulean Sactum. But like any piece of information, it doesn't do any good unless I let it transform me.
You seem to have hit on a real problem with our society today. We have lots of information and experience very little transformation. We have more books, teaching resources and tools to equip believers than ever before. But the Church is mired in selfish consumerism.
Christians are called to be witnesses. Blogging about life helps us do that. Is it a great witnessing vehicle? I'm not sure about that one. However, I have seen God use it to proclaim His glory and reveal His hand in the everyday circumstances of life.
While there may be lots of blogs out there, I monitor only a handful of them. And this happens to be one of them. - Chaille Brindley
