Great post, Dan. Printed this post awhile back and it created much thought and reflection so, here I am with a comment: I’m one of those “old guys” and your post made me see how I’ve neglected this. We live in a world that forms much of its opinion about Christianity based on what is seen on TV and in the news and it’s not been pretty over the years. As a result, many want nothing to do with the Christian faith or the church. What non-Christians need to see is that there are Christians who love God and others who are attempting to follow Jesus and live in the world in a truthful and biblical way. Interacting with others via networking is vital to being visible. I feel it may even help reduce some of the influence of these media-shaped, negative impressions of Christians. Also, how can we be salt and light to communicate truth and create the relationships to give and receive help in time of need, if all we do is live within the Christian network of family and church? Time to get out of the cocoon and spread those wings! The online world offers even more opportunities to connect as never before possible. Thanks for writing of this valuable piece of wisdom!
