It was recently published that
Christian Community is taking over
net. I thought, "Yes! It's about time they noticed!" But, sadly, another report came. It said that Christians have used
Internet to single-handedly restore
love for poetry. But, it has not reached
lost world.
Perhaps,
Christian Community became
minority because of our own doing. We were called to be in
world, without being like
world, to be a testimony in
midst of them - not to separate from opportunity to minister to
world (Philippians 2:15), except in
event of an evil we need to personally get away from. How can they, otherwise, hear?
Scripture makes reference to sowing beside all waters, Isaiah 32:20.
A way that applies for writers is to submit writings to whomever is interested (the highways and byways of
Internet), with
exception of X-rated sites. The only reason for eliminating those is because writings would be perverted, wherein God wouldn't get
glory. Though, we can still sow beside those waters, without going inside. Go to
highways and hedges, where others dare not trod.
One way writers can compel them, via
Internet, is to include a link to more of their writings, which will draw some to where they can further be ministered. Utilizing your talents, you might have other ideas.
There is neither Jew or Greek, bond or free ... red, yellow, black or white ... Protestant, Catholic, Indian, Hindu ... they're all trying to find their way to God. All things were created by Him and for Him. Our God is
God of
corn, of
wheat, of
rain ...
one in whom all things consist! But, Jesus was an anti-religionist. He went directly to
source because THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.
Regardless of what another faith believes (if our writings do not create offense), we can cross religious barriers to submit to them ~ until we all come into unity of faith. Likewise, we can share their non-offensive writings, because, however we serve, it is still
same God. No one religion has all
answers. If we separate from everything not like us, we lose
opportunity to learn from other faiths, also.
