In the Blogging World…
Justin on the Topic of Other

I’ve spotted some interesting new blogs, and some fascinating posts too! Let me share them with you…

  1. TWJ Ministries - An incredible blog with six contributing authors including Sidharth, an amazing man of God from India, who stands for Jesus Christ when many around him are trapped in the false religion of Hinduism!
  2. Revival Blog - This is the blog of Carl Thomas. He’s got some interesting things on spiritual warfare.
  3. Made to Praise Him - Read Mark’s entry about the “spirit of timidity”.
  4. Kingdom Living - Matt Dabbs is the author of the first Christian blog I ever put on my blogroll. This week he wrote a story about a tragic situation in his life, and how God has helped him through it. Be prepared to cry!
  5. Unleashing Life - This is the ministry of my friend’s brother. It’s based off of the popular Way of the Master.

I have also ran into a couple of not so nice blogs, but of course, I won’t be sharing those! Which reminds me, I have a question for all Christian bloggers out there:

What does your blog say to the world? Does it demonstrate what being a Christian is, or would it scare unbelievers away? When you go through your own archives do you see more complaining, or praising? Think about this the next time you write something that the world is going to see!

I know people have problems, and they want the world to know, but what does it solve? Why don’t you give those burdens to God, and let Him ease your troubled mind. Why don’t you take what God has blessed you with (a computer, the internet, writing skills, etc.), and use it to bless others. We are called to love God, and to love our neighbors. We are also called to love our enemies, and a lot of people seem to forget that. Let’s start doing a better job, alright bloggers?!

Okay, this pep talk is over! Get out there and change the world!

    Hi Justin,

    Mark’s site is one of my favorites. Check out Mike’s site at This I Do : www.thisido.blogspot.com

    I have published your testimony on our site. I believe our Lord will touch many through what He’s done in your life. And I must say, what He has done is marvelous in my eyes =)

    Bless you my brother,

    Sidharth

    Dear Justin:

    I came to visit after reading your testimony on Sidharth’s blog. My heart rejoices with you, brother!

    And I must let you know what a lovely blog you have, because I’m (1) a sucker for good design (yours is mind-blowingly lovely) and (2) an Apple fan too. ;-)

    God bless you, Justin. I shall be back often.

    Shabbat Shalom.

    I also wanted to ask you if you could join us for Bible Studies on Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings.

    Btw, I was amazed to know your age! Wow, you look like a 25ish-30 year old man! =)

    Thanks for the plug :-)

    Concerning: what do our blogs say about Jesus? Here’s some thoughts … just thoughts …

    If Jesus is truly at work in our lives and we are sharing that honestly and openly then … well, that’s all really.

    The potential problem is not to do with only reporting the positive and more to do with our level of integrity IMHO. We can be going through a real dark time in our lives but can still be a witness to anybody who relates to that.

    The postmodern focus that we are told is becoming more and more prevalent in our culture is “what’s the story of YOUR life?” as opposed to “what’s your theory / philosophy for MY life?”. And this applies to how we live and communicate generally. We have to learn how to “preach different”.

    If I’m transparent to Jesus along life’s journey, then someone else can see Jesus within my life’s journey!

    Hi Mark! I meet you here, and I didn’t forget about your testimony ;)

    It’s so true…..If we aren’t convinced [by the Spirit of course] ourselves that God is Whom He claims to be, it’s impossible to convince others.

    I always ask myself this question: Am I living epistle? This morning my grandmom, mom and I were asking ourselves….”Can people look at our lives and say…JESUS IS ALIVE?”
