Do You Pray Before You Blog?

This past year when I attended the GodBlogCon one of the things that was of benefit to me was whether or not Christians who blog seriously consider what they do to be a ministry. I think a lot of Christians think what they do is ministry, but in reality, it’s probably not. I say that not to condemn or judge anyone, but rather because I’ve been blogging for a number of years now and honestly find little value in what most Christian bloggers write about. And one of the trends in the Christian blogosphere is to get linked, join the “ego-system”, as I like to refer to it - which incidentally is linked to a HARD CORE PORN SITE, which apparently the Christians who are linked to The TruthLaidBear’s site could care less about.

What seems to be important is how much a person’s blog is noticed. And I have to admit, in the past I have been totally guilty of falling into the trap of playing the blog games. But as I stated at the last GodBlogCon, even Christians in the blogosphere care more about their “ego” than they do really using the power of their blog for righteous purposes.

One of the suggestions was that we Christians should pray for other bloggers and also that we should pray before we blog. Do you? Of all of you who frequent the GodBlogCon’s have you?

What causes are you supporting and helping others to learn about using your blog? For example, do you tell others things they need to know to make a difference in the world, or is your blog simply a place for you to discuss things that everyone else in the blogosphere is talking about?

These are just a few thoughts I had this morning. I’ll be back later with more. So be sure to come back.
