Ideas for your Website: Blogging Pastors

We all know that pastors like to give their opinions, but at least it is one of the few careers that people actually care to listen. One of the most important parts when most people are “interviewing” churches is the personality, beliefs and openness of the pastor. He or she is the image shown on display. To prove my point, all someone has to do is look at any local congregation and see how similar the demographics, personality, and social class the pastor is with the congregation. Is this wrong? If it is, I don’t think it should be one of our crusades for the 21st Century. It is just the truth: people are attracted to churches and pastors that are similar to them.
In most faith communities, the congregation waits patiently for a message given to them from their pastors. The pastor is a source of inspiration, discernment, wisdom, insight and growth, and it should be this way. The devoted life to God through prayer, disciplines, and perseverance will always reap good revelations from God that is good for everyone. God wants the pastors to share the revelations every moment possible and now it is possible to communicate God’s words on a daily basis.
Simply a blog is an Internet platform for writers to share their works on a global scale within minutes. Professional “bloggers” (writers) can write as many works as he or she wants and nobody will be around to edit or throw them in the trashcan. What is even better is the loyal readers of a blog can add discussion to the work by posting a comment. As a pastor this emerging platform is an extremely useful utility to remain connected with the congregation throughout the week. One of the biggest obstacles for churches is to have individuals focused on living Holy throughout the entire week. If the pastor steadfastly remains committed with the blog and advertises it on the website and on Sunday celebrations, there is no telling how much impact and discipleship is possible through God in a blog.
