Apologies.
The title of this post was not meant to be threatening or to be derogatory toward you in any way.
It was honestly the first thing that came to my mind when creating the title and my gut feeling in regards to “titles” has never lead me astray.
But seriously, if your ministry, church, or organization does not have a presence online, you’ve been drinking some strange cool-aid my friend.
And I know for some it requires some hard and fast “data.” Well, here you go. Check these graphs about where the online world is headed (and the number of people engaged) and you do the math.
The fact is that more and more people are spending more and more time online. You need a voice in that godless stream of thought.
Be a part of it, get noticed, steal some traffic that might be headed to otherwise “questionable” locales… Jump on it!
In addition, can see that more and more internet users are consuming “user-generated” content. What that means is that more and more people are reading things like blogs and are hanging out on Facebook.
Perhaps you too should get a blog or start a page or group on Facebook?
Either choose to engage or lose an unbelievable opportunity to share the most amazing news the world has ever heard. It’s up to you.
Don’t fool yourself; the internet ain’t going nowhere.
But maybe you are.
Your last sentence nails it; you are talking about foolishness more than stupidity.
and that's where sites like this one can be helpful. Course it will cost something, but often a lot less than trying to do it all in-house.
word up!
My church has a website, but putting a website together is easier said than done. I'm not disagreeing with the thought that you need to have one, I'm just saying there's many churches that don't have the people or resources to make and manage one.
it's not as hard as you might imagine… stick around and we'll help you out!
I try to keep it obvious in my blog that I serve Jesus Christ, as well as in twitter and facebook. But is that enough? Non Christians are exactly flocking to Christian blogs and websites. Should we – as individuals in the Body of Christ – engage in the greater internetverse with people in general in order to be light and salt. Obviously in partnership with the Church. Kind of like an online invest and invite strategy.
i'd like to think so…
The question is, what is profitable about being online?
I’m not so sure it’s automatically profitable for me to do it just because everyone else is.
Why should that be the standard for a believer?
