Offensive Christians

Encouraging Christians and the Church to go on the Offense

OC ends “INTERNET Fast”

Posted on | August 19, 2008 | No Comments

Sometimes we Christians don’t get it. OK, we don’t get it most of the time and when we do get things right its because of God at work within us.

What does this have to do with an INTERNET fast?

God showed me that this blog had become an idol for me. I was so focused on promoting the site and learning about the INTERNET that I started to neglect the most important things in my life. I wasn’t reading the Bible. I wasn’t reading Christian authors. I was snippy and rude when others needed me and I was on the computer.

So…why am I back?

I believe God showed me that I need to put this blog in it’s proper perspective for my life. How can I encourage others to be offensive Christians when I’m not living as I should?

I thank God that He opened my eyes to show me where I needed immediate change.

I’d like to take some time soon to discuss with you Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul David Tripp. I’ve been reading it as well as Galatians and James. My study time has been very rewarding and has opened up areas for growth.

I’d like to recommend you pick up a copy of the book either from Amazon below or any other source and take some time to discuss it with me here. I’ll be posting through the book soon. The link below is an affiliate link so if you buy here I’ll get something like 10 cents from the sale. Please feel free to buy from any other source or even see if you can check the book out from the library for free. Just read it. I think its that good.

OC/David

Verse of the Day

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8
