Recently, someone joined JoeUser and posted an article. This article contained a salvation message. While I am for the salvation message, obviously, there are ways of going about delivering it that definitely trump this one for sure. Basically, what he was saying to us was that he cared about our souls, without bothering to even become part of the community or even see if people were already in this mission field.
For one, the title of the article was spelled wrong. How imprtant can your message be if you can't be bothered to get the TITLE right?
For two, this was posted in politics. There is definitely a religious section of this community. So it was in the wrong category. Again, not bothering to learn the proper way to post a message.
Thirdly, and this may not be quite correct, but I noticed he left an email address in the message. What this says to me is that he's never coming back. He showed up, posted once, and is on his way, leaving behind his forwarding address.
How can people even think you care about them when you do something like this? You may care, but more likely you just wanted to feel Christiany today. Oh, I know, I'll sign up on a blog site, and post the salvation message, and be on my way. You know what, if you want to learn about Christianity, there are people HERE who will teach you. We have a pastor's wife, and many other Christians around here. People who actually care about this community and the people in it. I'd say, if you want a bunch of cliches, bible verses, and incomprehensible Christian lingo, feel free to email this guy. But if you want someone to speak to YOU, talk to someone you know about Jesus. Or someone you know from JoeUser. Some random guy might know Jesus, but he probably doesn't know you. And, if it's a habit to go around and annonymously preach, he will probably never really know you.
While I love to see Christianity at work, and God working in people's lives, I don't think that's what it looks like.
