You Are What You BLOG
Colin Hansen has written an insightful article entitled Blogs: a window into our souls. Here is the conclusion:
Ever since the Internet made itself indispensable, experts have observed its unmatched potential for facilitating good and evil. When we desperately need
teachers who relate biblical truth to current thoughts and trends, the Internet provides them with an effective and efficient forum. Yet the Internet also demolishes safeguards that formerly suppressed our sin nature.
Since we can't ignore the Internet's opportunities, we must learn to minimize its vices. That starts with asking whether our Internet personalities reveal more about ourselves than we'd like to admit.
Speaking of "blogs being a window into our souls" I was on a photoshoot for work today and began talking with the client. She, after finding out i went to SBTS, asked me about "Calvinism." I could tell very quickly where she was going with this and asked her what her definition of "Calvinism" was. After listening to her "Calvinism" I was convinced we were not on the same page, so i told her i was not like what she described.... anyway, she went on to tell me that her pastor, who was just fired, had been running a website called "reformed mafia" and was unapologetic with his views.
the church received wind of it, printed out the blog, and brought it to him. His response to their surprise was "you never asked" so, they fired, or he left. I can't remember.
but, the blog being a window to the soul seemed to highlight this issue....
