UNITE the Bloggersphere Link-Up

Too often there is are divisions in the world.

• Rich/Poor
• Educated/Not Educated
• Black/White
• Funny/Serious
• Attractive/Not so attractive
• Haves/Have not’s etc. etc.  

Sadly, divisions can also take place with people of faith too.  (i.e. Non-Christian vs. Christians.  Denomination vs. Denomination. Doctrine against Doctrine.)

I read an article the other day that states…..

98% of what Christian bloggers write is only read by other Christians.

My first thought was….“Oh no! I am a Christian blogger!”

And it stated…..Instead of evangelizing as initially intended….Christians can get caught up in our own talk, dialect, online club, non-Christians can’t relate to.

And as much as I am one.  Turn to.  Read.  And love my fellow Christian bloggers. I don’t want my blog to be just another social circle.  Another place that excludes people.  A world where only “certain” people feel they can fit in.   

I want something more.  I want a blog that is an open door.  I want a blog that includes people of all denominations, all sects, all cultures.  A broad array and spectrum and wide variety of diverse people.  

Because I often wonder…..how different are we from each other?  Really?  After all, Geneticist say that all humans are 99.9 percent the same.

And as I read God’s Word.  I see.  Jesus did a few things….

• Jesus stepped outside the church. The place Christian’s often feel most safe.
• Jesus crossed all boundaries of economic status, religion, and race.
• Jesus challenged us beyond the “us vs them” mentality.  
• Jesus, instead of waiting for non-Christian to enter the Synagogues of His day….Jesus went out and fearlessly engaged with “them”. 
• Jesus mingled with “unrespectable” people. Jesus found points of connections with “the least of these”.  All people.
• Jesus didn’t just reside in Pharisee and Sadducee circles. 
• And ultimately, most importantly, above all else……..Jesus loved…...

And it is this great commandment that plagues my thinking….my heart and desire to help bloggers unite.  Whether…..

• A life long Christ follower.
• A church pew warmer.
• One who straggles in only on Christmas and Easter…..or….
• One who never goes to church at all.
