Ok...a couple days ago I decided to try a little experiment. I have the website I like to go to where people post little funny sayings and other will rate them with a little "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down". A lot of these posts are rather 'nasty' in nature. Graphic and explicit. So I decided to go the other direction and post scripture....just to see the response. Most of the posts get a little vote traffic on them. 4 will like...6 will dislike or maybe 7 like...2 dislike. Well as of writing this blog the first scripture I posted is currently 38 like and 164 dislike. The second of these posts is currently at 30 like and 138 dislike. Why do you suppose this is? This site is set up so you can only vote once on a posting. I find this to be rather exciting! What a wonderful field to sow seeds. There was a series of posts following my second one that debated the actual existence of God Himself. WOW! There are so many out there that are under the control of Satan! They are so blind to the Word! They actually try to quote scripture and can't. They say such foul things about our Father...but I really don't find this overly offensive. For as Jesus said as he was crucified
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." ~Luke 23:34
I know that they are under the influence of Satan and they agonize over the Word of God. I am positive that these seeds will come to harvest...someone will seek Jesus. It may not be directly because of these scriptures I post...but they will begin to work inside and allow God to do His work.
The reason I titled this blog "A CHALLENGE..." is that I challenge you to find a forum like the one I found... where you can post scripture and see the feedback from this post. Don't be afraid to defend the Word. It can change someone's life... and it can be good practice to face doubters in real life.
Be Blessed....

Wow! That's really wild, Terry! And what a great challenge! It's amazing how you can use the internet for God's Glory! We hear of all the "bad" stuff on it, but what a great tool to reach others!! Thanks so much for sharing this! Awesome! It really goes to show you how people are controlled by Satan. Wow! Yep, if you posted explicit things, I bet the likes and dislikes would be reversed. Wow! How this world needs JESUS!!
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: I have since been blocked from making entries on the website I mentioned in this blog entry. According to the host of the site....I was creating too much of a heated dispute by posting scripture on his forum. Imagine that....but to his credit he has also been deleting vulgar and inappropriate entries. I guess my work there is finished...I must move on!
