I appreciate the wisdom you share here. Blog...Dan,<br />I appreciate the wisdom you share here. Blogging, and writing in general, are not easy. Your post gives the impression, rightly so, that writing is a discipline similar to long-distance running. I could rest up for the next two years before the Boston Marathon, but wouldn't do very well without continued, persistent, sometimes painful training.<br /><br />If you want to blog well, then you must blog. Good writing will not fall out of the sky and land on your keyboard, at least for us cessationists.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Thank you for the good advice and your continuing efforts here and at Pyro. I'm looking forward to your analog production (i.e. book) when it becomes available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858857487962300855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-21505809615021261072010-04-24T05:56:27.153-05:002010-04-24T05:56:27.153-05:00Thanks for this post.

I was thinking about blogging just before ...Hi DAN:<br />I was thinking about blogging just before this post came up. <br /><br />Another rule of thumb, which I'm sure will come up, is to blog what you know. Now, that's self-evident, but here the thing...a lot of Christans fancy themselves R.C Sproul with a keyboard. <br /><br />I know that my ego was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash in terms of having a substantive theological preparation. I mean who did I think I was-YOU? lol <br /><br />Nope, not you by a long stretch. So, I changed my approach to more experience and devotional type articles, with some basic doctrinal content commensurate with my level of understanding.<br /><br />The result was that my writing felt less pretentious, and more inspring. I got more hits too.<br /><br />There are no shortage of theology & apologia type blogs, so people shouldn't rush to be the next Alpha & Omega Ministries on the internet. <br /><br />Just blog from the heart and stay within your pay grade. :-)<br /><br />ZaphPierre Saikaleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409964448078910855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-85736337496973426072010-04-14T12:04:03.107-05:002010-04-14T12:04:03.107-05:00However, if I ever started a blog it would only ne...<em>However, if I ever started a blog it would only need one post entitled "Go Read DJP."</em><br /><br />Exactly. This is what helps me resist when the silly urge comes over me. Far too many people already say anything I might have to say, and say it much better. Might as well funnel any such passion I have toward pointing people in the direction of Dan, Phil, Frank, Mike Riccardi, Rachael, and plenty of others (no offense meant to any "regular" that I haven't mentioned).<br /><br /><em>So... is it true that "Anderson" is Greek for "Martuneac"?</em><br /><br />Yes, and I said it first; I <b>demand</b> proper attribution!

For a while I thought blogging would become my other ministry once my kids were a little bigger. Then I was daunted by how much work it is (to do it <i>well</i>; it's distressingly easy to do it <i>badly</i>, judging by....well, a <i>lot</i> of places :) ).<br /><br />But just last night I did have kind of an epiphany that it can be in itself a discipline - to commit to studying and then writing, and not giving up until you've both internalized and then expressed what God is teaching you.<br /><br />So thanks for the extra dose of encouragement and advice.<br /><br />And a very hearty "Amen" on the link trolling thing.Rachael Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781158372237369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-31231838332720269812010-04-13T18:10:58.361-05:002010-04-13T18:10:58.361-05:00I had no thoughts of creating a blog, but then my ...I had no thoughts of creating a blog, but then my worship team wanted to study a book together without using up too much of our practice time. So I came up with the idea our using a blog for that purpose and as a place for them to find worship resources. <br /><br />I owe Dan thanks for being an important source of inspiration for me on what can be done at a blog.<br /><br />Thanks Dan!JackWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384160992033491748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-22054358873064119802010-04-13T15:34:40.164-05:002010-04-13T15:34:40.164-05:00It's "obsessive banned stalkertroll,"...It's "obsessive banned stalkertroll," if you please.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-37609623232842706272010-04-13T15:33:40.531-05:002010-04-13T15:33:40.531-05:00I wonder if banned stalker troll OSO has a blog?
...I wonder if banned stalker troll OSO has a blog? <br /><br />JUST KIDDING!!!!!<br /><br />Seriously, some wonderful advice. I often wonder how many of us have blogs as a mere hobby, and how many of us have them for ministry purposes, or a combination of both. The more and more I think about these wonderful tools that the Lord gives us, I realize all the more how accountable we will be to Him for how we use them.
