It has been nearly a month and a half since I posted anything substantial. I can use the excuse that I have been busy, but who isn’t busy anymore? We make the time for what is important to us, and I’ve had things higher on the priority list than writing here.
However, the real reason that I’m not writing is that I’m struggling with what to write about. I have become tired of picking a target and opening up with both barrels. It serves no constructive purpose other than allowing me to puff my chest out a bit and marvel at the witty phrases and harsh words I’ve put on the screen. It’s a waste of time to write and an insult to whatever audience I have.
So, I hereby publicly declare that no longer will I post anything which is a direct attack on a person. I will still attempt to point out where I think we as a culture are failing in our commission, but I would also like to start on a new path.
Am I writing to people who already know Christ, or am I writing for those who don’t yet know Him? Am I defending ground that God already holds, or should I be leading a charge out into the nations as we are commanded in Matthew 28:19? It’s uncomfortable for me to think that way, but an important distinction should be made between writing for Christians and writing for the non-believer. How does this change my writing? I really don’t know, I only hope that whatever comes out of this new way of thinking goes towards the glory of God and not my own selfish desires.
Add me to your reader!
