1 Thessalonians 5:11
“Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.”
Ephesians 5:15-20
“Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.”
A lot of people are using technology lately to reach people with their thoughts. God has called us as Christians to encourage and I must ask are you helping? Like the old tv show said “Your mission should you choose to accept it..”. We may be disconnected by a pandemic but just about all of us connect online somehow and we all connect to others lives. Encourage others its the Christian’s calling and one of our gifts. I will let you in on a secret. I am nervous every time I share the blog as a video. I’m not an on camera or speech making person. I think of it a lot like a wrestling promo. You have your points you want to make you get to it and you’re done. The written blog I treat the same way. Not everyone is a preacher, or teacher but God calls us to share his truth to a dying world. Blogging was something I never set out to do. The Apostle Paul was a tentmaker by trade. He became a writer of half the New Testament. God has given Christians gifts to use the question is are you? If you’re not imagine Bill Goldberg looking you in the eyes and saying “You’re next!” Get off the bench and get active God can use if you let him.
You can encourage those around you and leverage technology to share the hope found in God alone. It’s not rocket science it really isn’t.
