…but apparently this blog must continue! I have gotten some extremely uplifting comments that have made me realize that this blog has been used by God. In addition to the comments I have received, the defining moment for my decision to continue on was when a good friend revealed to me that he was donating the amount of money that I needed to renew my website.

You know who you are, and I am so grateful for this gift, and honored to know you!

My one year blogging anniversary is coming up, and I’ll be celebrating it with the release of my next web-design! I’m excited…again!

Here’s a quick word that I started receiving a minute ago from Holy Spirit. Basically, there is an attack on Christian blogs that is going on in this season. The amount of Christian blogs is growing rapidly, and it is creating a ripple effect around the world. Obviously, this is going to make the devil unhappy, and I believe he is going to continue to try and bring down the many wonderful Christian blogs that are out there.

Stop! Don’t allow him to have the victory. The internet is full of lies, and we have to continue spreading the Truth. I urge all of my readers that have their own blogs to think of new and exciting ways to promote their blog. I have even thought about getting a bumper sticker that simply says, “www.awesomepurpose.com”. Whether you realize it or not, your blog is part of your ministry, and it is under attack. Let’s start to fight back!

I would also encourage Christians to keep their blogs “Holy”. Severely limit the arguments that turn personal, get rid of entries that speak negatively against Christians (unless you know they are in error and you may expose the error in love), and abstain from all forms of evil. I recently saw a few Christian blogs that used Google Ads, and the adds contained pornographic pictures, and links to websites that shouldn’t be on a Christian blog. Please consider whether the few dollars you might make off of those ads is more important than your viewers being exposed to the filth that can damage their perception of you. That’s another thing, your words are strong, and they represent who you are. Keep that in mind when writing, and at the end of your post, ask yourself, “does this bring Glory to the Lord?”.
