Confronting the Issue
Was on the way into work thuis morning and while listening to the hidden track on the Rerdeemed Thuoght CD (www.redeemedthought.com), I was convicted of something that is not commonally done on many website forums that I've visited. Namely, the subject was confronting the issue. Meaning that as a believer, you has as much a right, if not more so, to stand for the Gospel that has saved you. It was a great self check for me, as I have found more and more lately that the content and/or attitudes in some forums is a lot less than pleasing to God. We have as much a responsiblity online to confront issues pertaining to faith and Godlines, as much as we do offline.
That is not to say that one should go seeking out every place that someone, or even a complete forum, is walking contrary to Ephesians 4:28. It does mean though that we have been given clear instruction to be holy, as God is holy.; and to be distinct from that which is unclean. If this means having responses that speak towards wisdom and sound council, or just sending a person message to a brother or sister who spoke something in heracy, we have a responsiblity to be holy. That is the issue, and more than just being users of technology, we have to be people who confront the issues alive in technology.

I think this is very well said, and very timely as well. We do need to take a stand, to confront the issue, and share the Gospel with those around us.
Most of our work places are full of people who mock the Bible and it's messag, and who like to antagonize. I'm grateful for the thoughts that are shared through Mobile Ministry Magazine as one more way to be salt and light in the work place.
