Other Ways of Witnessing on the Web

Witnessing on the web is a great opportunity to let the world know that Jesus saves and that he is always knocking at the door of our hearts to set us free from the bondage of sin. I believe an awesome way to witness on the wed is by hearing the testimony from everyday people sharing how Christ has made and impact on their lives. The interviews could come from our brothers and sisters in Christ, co-workers, and youth groups. I find it easy to talk to my customers about life in general and before it's over sometimes we end up talking about how the Lord has brought us through the trial we have faced in life, thus far. By broadcasting the different testimonies on the web, I would at the end of each one would place scripture as inspiration, to keep the saints encouraged and usher in the unsaved to win them over for Christ. I would also invite the viewers to send in their testimonies as well.

How do you use Wikipedia?

I haven't really had use Wikipedia to research anything for myself. My son had a project that needed research and this source was used. We found more than enough information in reference to the topic he used. He also found a great amount of pictures as well. This was basically my extent of the use of Wikipedia. I've heard that it's an awesome search engine but I haven't had any real reason to use it.

Current News Story

The news story that has caught my attention is that of Somer Thompson. This little girl was on her way home from school when Jarred Harrell allegedly took her, assaulted and murdered her. This story touched me deeply because I am a mother. As parents when we send our kids off to school we expect for them to return unharmed. What Jarred Harrell did to this Somer Thompson was horrific to say the least. To hear and see the mother, Deana Thompson pleading for her daughthers return, only to find out that Somer would not return alive, was more than any mother could bear. I could not be there for that mother in the physical, but what I did do was pray for justic in this matter. I am happy to see that this man has been captured but I wonder what made this man want to give up his freedom, by going after the freedom of a defenseless little girl. This is something I will never understand.

Which website is the best?

Facebook is a very useful website. This site allows you the opportunity to go and seach for family members, friends and even located a new church in you area. Facebook's layout offer a great way to put your views out there on the world wide web. So if you want to minister, invite new people to church or share testimonies to encourage one another, this is one of the many ways to do so. You can share different links on christian products and services as well. I've been introduced to Facebook by posting some assignments via college and this has truly expanded the way I could use this as a tool to share knowledge with others.

Why do you use Facebook?

I'm currently using facebook to post different topics, ideas and also to witness on the topic of Christianity. I am required to use this site as a way to learn different techniques for writing. But facebook and be used for so much more. It's a great search engine for relocating friends and family or to find out information about anything from movies to cars. But on the controversal side facebook can serve as tool for bulling, or unwanting advances. I have been able to use facbook to notify my family of gatherings, and keep up with new business ventures. It's useful in many ways but like anything else facebook has it's pros and cons.

What's the biggest issue that's theating modern Christianity?

There are too many types of Christians. Today's Christian does not want to stand up for Christ. Many who are professing to be Christians, aren't picking up their crosses and following Jesus. This is causing many to fall away from the church and not ever really learn what it means to be Christ-like. There are Christians whom attend church, study scripture and pray daily as well as take active roles in the church. There are others whom attend church on occassion and feel as though they have done their duty as a Christian. Some would rather just receive their connections to Christ via the media, without ever really making the connection of assembling with other Christians. There are so many just looking to be entertained and the list can go on. Modern Christianity is in need for more active Christians who are not afraid to share their faith and who are equipped to stand up for the faith. (www.christianitytoday.com)

Christian Entertainment

Entertainment for Christians can be fun, but we have to be careful not to let what the world calls entertainmemt separate us from God. Christians can enjoy music, go see movies as long as the content is suitable. We can attend theatrical plays, have dinner with our friend, have parties, enjoy the beaches, etc. But in all we do, we must have to be careful to always honor God. It is not ok to go to bars, drink in excess, tell dirty jokes, or watching things that are inappropriate.
