If your blog is helping others to learn, be encouraged, or be motivated/inspired, I would say you are exercising a spiritual gift.

If you look at a list of biblical spiritual gifts, all of them need a form of expression or a way in which the gifting is worked out. Blogging is most definitely one of those 'forms of expression'

These forms of expression are continually evolving along with culture. (You don't see flannel-board being used much any more)

Take teaching for instance.
Teaching can be done verbally, in writing, large groups, small groups, books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, diagrams, cartoons, tutorials (online/group/written). Someone might be a gifted teacher but not a gifted speaker and therefore use a written medium. some teach better 'on the fly' in the middle of a discussion.

as for blogging, i think people can view it as a "special/spiritual" gift b/c some are just very very good at it. but really, it's just understanding the tool and its potential to reach a certain niche market. LOLcats and the Fail Blog know how to reach their audiences, but would you say that those people have a spiritual gift? not so much, right?

i think i had more to say, but i got distracted and now i've lost my train of thought. boo. anyway, this should be enough to work off of for now right?

Are not a great many of these involved in blogging?

I hope so!

For instance – I have some friends that are really good at playing Halo 3, so would being good at Halo 3 be a Spiritual gift? I think not. Perhaps they are just good at it, and enjoy it.

You can get into terms, and pick things down, so it breaks down at some point.
(ie – God gave you a brain, he gifted you to see, so it is a gift to be able to play video games, etc, etc. – you get the idea.)

I tend to think it's ok to simply enjoy something, just to enjoy it. Not having to make it "spiritual."

Just my thoughts.
