I was told that Pastor's should have a blog. It is a good way to teach and keep people informed. The arguments were persuasive enough to lead me to set up this blog.
I've found that after I have written a weekly sermon, a "thought" for our electronic weekly newsletter, an article for the monthly newsletter, and have responded to scores of emails . . . I often don' t have a great deal more to say.
I am often reminded (I think by the Holy Spirit) of the words of Ecclesiastes 5: "Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your mouth to utter anything before God." There is also the Proverb that says, "when words are many sin is not absent."
When news shows went to 24 hour coverage we saw that stories had to be sensationalized in order to fill up the time. Little things became big things; nothing became something. The quality of news coverage and reporting has gone down because we are oversaturated with news.
I wonder if the same thing is happening with our "networking". We blog, tweet, make posts on walls, get on discussion boards, send instant messages, and endless texts. Do we really have that much to say? Why do we think that every thought in our head is worth publishing? Where do we get the idea that the daily events of our lives are of great interest to those around us? Why should I care what Farm Animals you need in our farm simulation game? We are talking more but saying less.
This post is a case in point.
