		<description>Went ahead and read his thoughts anyways. Thought this line he used really stuck out.  
             
        You&#8217;ll never make the time that it takes to produce the sort of good work that theoretically made you so appealing in the first place. 
 
One clear reason that contradicts my beliefs - Philippians 2:3, &#8220;Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself.&#8221; In the end, it&#039;s not about being appealing. </description>

		<description>Would probably clear this up if you shared the ways you make these conversations begin I guess. On the Merlin note, I usually take a pass at letting culture define my understanding of how to use what God&#039;s given me. If you enjoy the discussion of the line between the church and culture, maybe read my recent post below and grab The Fine LIne from a bookstore.

		<description>God&#039;s not a card, especially if each of us here claim to follow him and this blog is specifically aimed at assisting His people. I&#039;m not some stranger that&#039;s never been in church just blasting my opinions. I&#039;ve seen God work through multiple online ministries myself, and have seen Him move when I did the unthinkable and let it become more about Him than my message or methodoligies (or numbers, comments, etc.) 
 
It&#039;s key to remember that most of the readers of this blog and I&#039;d guess most of our online communities are Christians. We believe in God and at least understand that it is about Him, not us. That&#039;s the first choice of the Christian faith. </description>

		<description>But, again, that&#039;s suggesting that THAT is the only way, and I don&#039;t think it is. You feel that it&#039;s necessary for you to engage, and that&#039;s cool. But perhaps there are &quot;other&quot; ways by and through which we use technology?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way might work for you while another may work for another. I think there are many ways we can build relationships via technology, and sometimes it doesn&#039;t look the same as the way that we&#039;d prefer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, throwing in the god-card is sketch, and I never said that I didn&#039;t &quot;need&quot; to be in the &quot;conversation.&quot; I&#039;d argue that the &quot;conversation&quot; doesn&#039;t necessarily look like the one you&#039;re offering all the time. </description>
