  • If you are already famous blogger having hundreds of follower, then does your attitude has changed?

    • Pride is.  And immaturity exists, yes.  But as experience comes, both are found to be false and incomplete.  I have found that one follower is just as viable as 10 million.  My attitude has changed as the Lord Jesus has allowed me to testify.  I am but a servant of the Most High God in Christ Jesus.  Humility appeared.  Pride is diminished.  And maturity buds, like a tiny bloom on a sapling.

  • Why & How, you started your very first blog?,

    • I started my blog because I was fed up with trying to testify by my physical presence.  I could only reach one person at a time, in my body.  But the blog has allowed over 11 thousand “impressions” of Christ to appear in this wicked world.  Blogging may be considered a second rate form of writing by many.  But the effectiveness of dispensing the Gospel can’t be denied.
    • Was their fear in my first post?  Yes.  Why?  Because I knew how full of hate for the Gospel is every man’s heart.  As they hate the Living God’s Holy Son, they were about to hate me.
    • Why, then, should I risk their hatred and isolation associated with testifying for the Living God’s Son?  Because, as they hate the Lord, they also hate one another.  If they already hate me for being a man, let them also hate me for loving Jesus.
    • He is worthy of every possible suffering for His Holy sake.  And why should I not suffer for His Holy name, as have millions of others?

  • Your feelings before posting your very first post,

    • I was tired of watching the Righteous One be ignored.  I was tired of seeing men waste their lives in search of what cannot last.  I was tired of witnessing acts of murder; from simply being silent in the face of wickedness, to literal shedding of blood.  I decided to speak.  It’s that simple.

  • What is reason  behind your writing?,

    • I will live a life of testimony regarding He who is true.  I do not do this to secure a place in eternity.  I write that Jesus might be glorified in my otherwise ridiculously useless life.  I will take His Holy promises.  I will employ my soul on His Righteous behalf.  I will raise up the Holy Name of Jesus, the Righteous Son of the Living God.  And I will not shrink back.

  • How your blog is useful to others?

    • My blog is tiny.  Yes there are many posts, well over 2000 now.  But the usefulness of this accumulation of words is not for me to determine.  And if I could determine their usefulness, would that be useful?  It is better that I continue to write without hope.  Let me simply serve my Lord.  Pride waits crouched just outside the door of worship.  It is far better to serve without expectation of reward.  Humility makes no demands of others for praise.  Pride seeks praise without ceasing.

  • What is your purpose to write a blog?is it for professional use,for fun,only as hobby,for being a writer,for fame,increasing contacts,for sharing your thoughts,showing your skills?or any other?

    •  I write to allow God to have what is rightfully His.  In this unholy world, there will be a place within this man to allow Him to speak.  There is no other rightful reason to speak at all.  Everything else is trivia and will prove itself to be useless use of our ability to communicate.  If Christ is not glorified in our every moment, we have lived a relatively useless life.
    • Many will say this is trite.  They will consider that I speak of items far too high for a man to contain.  They will consider such words as too high minded to be real.  What’s that to me.  I know Him.  He knows my heart.  And I am not ashamed to have spoken of the highest possible expectation of purpose.

  • what are your expectations and dream as a blogger?

    • I desire to introduce 10,000 souls to the Holy Lord.  By the time this world comes to an end, may God bless Himself in this servant of His Holy Son, that He might take for Himself at least 10,000 souls into eternal joy.
    • My dream is to see His Holy Face without fear.  My dream I to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who were not afraid to testify on behalf of the Most High God’s Righteous Son.  My dream is to bring pleasure to the One who made me.  My dream is to ignore the threats of man, and embrace the joy of service to the Holy One.

Thanks to “itsmine”, the one who supplied these questions.  You can find his blog at negativethinker.wordpress.com

Stop by his blog.  Say hi.  Embrace one another in the Holy Name of Christ.  Support one another for His Holy Name’s sake.  Live Christ Jesus!

 

Amen.

We Didn’t Know

I was taking my break here, thinking about my service to the Lord.  I was remembering clearly, that is not my responsibility to convert people to Christ.  It’s simply my responsibility to testify about him.  Then I thought of something rather interesting.

I’m not the only one who writes for the Lord.  There are hundreds and hundreds of Christians trying to testify for Christ.  In the vernacular we might say, “They’re everywhere!  They’re everywhere!”

God has already said that men are without excuse.  But there will be people on the judgement day, who say they had no way to know.  Frankly, the answer will be, “Yes you did.  You preferred not to look”.

Please give that some thought.

The Telling Average

by

0


I just wrote an article about the popularity of the Gospel.  And out of curiosity, I went back to sum up the total average of visitors to this blog.  Sometimes we have a sense of things, but when we quantify, we are often even amazed at the least possible expectation.

Over the last 5 years, this blog has averaged 4 visitors per day.  There are well over 2,000 posts here.  And one would think that even the worst writing would gather more than 4 people per day.

I will gladly admit I am not a good writer.  But I have seen some people’s writing, that has become very popular despite the horrendous value of it.  So then in the pondering of this, I have come up with three possible answers.

The first is obvious, I am a horrible writer.  How could I not agree with that?  I’ve reread my posts enough to know that I am ignorant of grammar and too presumptuous to be careful.

The second possible answer is that the words that I write are so foreign to the joy of men that I am willingly placed into obscurity.  This is a great possibility, for I have never been known as one who plays well with others.  Why and how should that change now?

And the third possibility is full of ponderous contemplation (Redundant yes but it sounded cool).  Perhaps God Himself has placed me in a “cave”.  Greatly distant from the eyes of man.  And I wrote concerning this in the post called “The Craftsman”.

I have seen others that write virtually the same things as I.  And the numbers on their blog are well into the two hundred and five hundred thousand views, and this in far shorter time than I have been writing. 

I could surmise rightly that I am a lousy writer.  I could surmise rightly that the way I write is so abrasive, few have the palate to eat.  But I very much like the third.  For it gives summation to the other two.

The reasons why God has done what he has done to his servant fit into a variety of explanation.  And there is no need to expose them here. 

It is impossible to take pride in obscurity.  Such a man would be considered fully insane.  Yet there is reason to be proud of the Lord Jesus.  For he is God incarnate.  And in the eternal wisdom of the Holy Father he dispenses God’s will in all creation.

There are many who will sit and count their numbers with great joy.  I recognize that is a broad assumption, but I have no reason to think otherwise.  Every Church that I have attended counts their numbers regularly.  Most of them have even displayed a little plaque at the back of the chapel to honor their victory; “Number in attendance this year 4000, number in attendance this month 400, number in attendance last week 6”.

But God has left me to count scraps from the dinner table.  He is Glory!  His wisdom is pure!  He is faultless in all his Holy judgments.  And rather than give praise or regret to myself,  I will give praise and honor to the one who lives forever by the precious blood of his Holy love for Righteousness!  He is Jesus the Son of the Most High God and the Son of Man!

May the will of God be done forever!  God alone is good!

Writing for The Purpose

by

0


A man writes for a purpose.  I say this with a happy tone.  Who writes anything and just throws it away?  There was something needing said.  The words were formed on purpose.

All of us poor bloggers write for a purpose.  We all want to be heard.  We all want to be counted as valuable.

Ask any marketing guru and he will tell you, “Say what the people want to hear and they will fly to your words”.  Audience, then, is of prime concern.

The people I want to write to already know the Bible is.  What’s contained there is far more than I can contrive to write.  So then why do I write?

Do I write for all the purposes that are good?  Surely I do.  But few read them.

Should I allow that to depress my heart into sadness?  Absolutely not!

For though I write that men may be saved, the reality is I am but one man.  How can I write in obscurity with joy?  I write for the great cloud of witnesses.

I write that I may understand.  I write that I may do.  The writing is learning.

And the writing is the testimony, before the living God, that Jesus his Son is making a serious difference.  God is pleased.  And the great cloud of witnesses says “Amen”.

There is a place I will be received with great joy.  Here reception is debatable item.  Therefore I will live and write according to the place I will be assigned.

Only let the fever of the gospel consume me.

Worthy?

Nothing we write, speak or do means anything compared to whose we are.  All three of those are only reflection who or what we worship.  And we all know that quasi gods abound; the variety of motivation is as plentiful as the dust particles on the earth.  Each man can potentially own over a billion different motives in his short life.

None of the writings in this blog are of any value if the Living God is not at the heart of my life.  Not a thought I may have is worth anything if I don’t know Him.  No deed I may a do will suffice if it fails to give Him Glory.

Fame is worthless.  The best of man’s thoughts are but conjecture (and this from biased perspective).  And regardless our intention not one of us can do anything “Good“.

If that is true of me as I write, it is also true of you as you read.  I am nothing.  He is everything.  And you are the reason He has blessed me.
