RE: STEEMCHURCH: THE WITNESS UNTO HIM
Hi sonofthunder.
I just replied to a post of yours on last night's SteemChurch blog.
With regards to this one - let's just say these are difficult questions to answer.
Yes it is about spreading the word of God. Yes it is about feeding minnows. Yes it is about growing and becoming successful. Yes it is about creating a Community to discuss Christ... and freedom, liberty, human rights, family, the patriarchy, community spirit - and other the other wonderful themes of the bible.
I don't seek personal glorification. However, do I think that there can ever be a Christian revolution without revered figureheads willing to drive change - no I don't. And yes this will take a whole lot of dramatic flair.
Christianity was never meant to be about learning and reciting passages from a Bible ad nauseam. It was about understanding the message of God, and then embracing the beauty and splendor of the world around us. The Church used to be beautiful, exciting and entertaining - and this is my vision for SteemChurch.
Do I care about the money and should those in the SteemChurch community? Yes we should. Those contributing to the community definitely need to be remunerated accordingly. @steemchurch was created with 6 Steem and I would like to see this grow to many thousands as a message to the world - that God has not been forgotten.
Hope this helps with your decision sonofthunder.
SirKnight!
I think it will take further discernment. To follow Christ is to make him your only goal. So when we speak or write or help someone it all comes from a desire to seek God. When other desires get in the way, then sin occurs. Seeking God, money, and popularity at the same time just doesn't work. But if you become popular and God blesses you with money because you seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, then he will add these things to you.
I asked those questions above to see where in your heart, you were coming from.
So as far as steem church goes, I will continue reading the posts, resume my own posts and maybe even tag steem church, and I will pray about what my role if any should be in it.
Thanks for replying so promptly :)
The primary aim of every church is to promote Christ, all other activities are secondary, and as Christians it is our responsibility to support and grow the church. Christ came to preach the message of liberty and freedom and that is why the Steemchurch is here!
All the glory belongs to GOD
