Christian Mission: The Net is Waiting

The internet speaks to everyone. I say this because there is something for everyone on the world wide web. It doesn't matter how old you are, or how young. It doesn't matter what ethnicity, gender, background, religion, anything! You can be a committed businessman or a boxcar hobbyist, it doesn't matter. You get my point.

So where am I going with this?

Regardless of your state in life, whether you know you're on the right track with your career or relationships, or whether you feel completely and utterly lost, along for the ride in the current of life... regardless, we as Christians have a mission. If you feel no other sense of purpose but to fulfill your Christian mission of bringing the Gospel to others, then so be it.

So why did I lead off with comments about the internet?

Because the internet is fertile ground for your mission. Sure you can talk to people face to face, or write for the local newspaper, or put together a charity, all of those things are amazing and valuable avenues for spreading the Good News... but might I suggest something to throw in the loop as well? Consider making a web page, I'm not even really suggesting a web site, just a page would do. One page talking about the Lord, one page that might inspire many to find their way to God. You'd be surprised how many people will happen across a single page, seriously.

Just throwing that idea out there. One page, one blog, one more avenue to continue your mission. For those of you who are semi-tech savvy, it's easy to create free or low cost sites. For those of you who can barely make it to this blog, it's not a big hurdle thanks to site-building software out there. Consider it, pray about it.

Some links to help you along:
- free blogs: www.blogger.com , www.vox.com
- free websites: www.tripod.com , www.myspace.com
- low cost sites: www.godaddy.com

* note: I'm only listing places where I've had good experiences. Myspace.com can be a questionable place, but if you ask me, it just needs more Christians pronouncing their faith on there. Also, I haven't actually used Vox.com yet, but I plan on doing so very soon, check it out.
