What does God think about my blogging? Well, according to the good folk at the Ambassador Youth site … He’s probably not very happy with it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recall that a blog provider stated, with blogs \u201cthere are no rules.\u201d This is obviously not true with God. He does<\/em> have rules and guidelines, but not everything is spelled out in the Bible. We must take principles and consider the overall big picture. <\/p>\n

Should teenagers and others in the Church express themselves to the world through blogs? Because of the obvious dangers; the clear biblical principles that apply; the fact that it gives one a voice; that it is almost always idle words; that teens often do not think<\/em> before they do<\/em>; that it is acting out of boredom; and it is filled with appearances of evil \u2014 blogging is simply not<\/span> to be done in the Church. It should be clear that it is unnecessary and in fact dangerous
\non many levels.<\/p>\n

Let me emphasize that NO ONE <\/span>\u2014 including adults \u2014 should have a blog or personal website (unless it is for legitimate business purposes). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hmmmm … maybe I should just go back to playing D&D more<\/a> …<\/p>\n
