An article I read this morning titled “Don’t be a Darren Rowse, Don’t be a John Chow” made some interesting points that I thought I’d like to share with you. BTW For those of you who are new to blogging, Darren and John are probably two of the most respected and recognized blogger’s on the planet.
The author of the post Michael Reza Aulia, started the article with a quote from the book of exodus, where God asks Moses “Whats In Your Hand”(Exodus 4:2)
Through a simple wooden stick, Moses was able to display the power of god to set the Israelite people free, part the red sea, make water flow out of a rock and stave of plagues.
Michael is basically talking about Blogging, but if you stop for a minute and take what he’s saying and apply it to your ministry then there is a very valuable lesson to learn.
The point Michael is making is, you have gifts and abilities of your own, God has given you these capabilities to prosper and grow your ministry whatever that may be, So in terms of your Online ministry, it’s so very important to find your own voice, recognize your own vision and where your true potential lies.
I know from my own experience that not all people are called to the same ministries, It talks about that in the bible, we are all called to be one body but different members, (Romans 12:4) For example I wouldn’t make a good Missionary, Because I don’t like traveling all that much, But that doesn’t mean that someone who really loves this type of ministry is any more or less talented than myself, Or I should try and be like someone who has a gift for this type of ministry.
The article points out 7 key points that you may want to stop and think about for your efforts online.
They Are…
- Your Passion.
- Your Writing Style.
- Your Personality.
- Your Knowledge.
- Your Time.
- Your Friends.
- Your Traffic.
This is a good post that I recomend you read, think about the lesson and tie this in with your own vision and purpose for serving our god.

Great comments and very valuable lessons. The internet is the best way to advertise Christ Jesus and to discuss (without wars) his ministry. I am learning new things everyday from people like you Jeremy and I appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this. You are teaching me to be a better Christian with a softer heart in the way I think and set more goals for myself. Thanks again Val.
No worries val, It’s been a pleasure.
