Richard sent me this information today. It is about a “seminary mom” who is about to shut down his blog created to share seminary resources on the net with other seminary teachers. She will shut down his blog “out of obedience”.
Obedience is a great thing, and I don’t know the details of the decision and therefore I can’t really comment on it, but in general I want to express my feeling about this story.
We are trying to make the internet a better place for people by having “more good” stuff. If we start shutting down the limited amount of good stuff that is out there, who is going to dominate even more the Internet and perhaps laugh at us? Do we like to shoot ourselves in the foot all the time?
The More Good Foundation is about spreading the good news of the Gospel on the Internet. With so much trash out there, why are we so concerned about tearing down the good things?
Times are changing… tools are changing, perhaps we need to realize it better.
Seminary mom, I am glad you are not shutting down your site but you decided to simply switch from a seminary blog to a new one that “will have motivational resources that will help you refuel for working with the Lord’s priceless youth!”
We commend you for you good effort! I am sure you didn’t do it with such a purpose, but perhaps your shutting down and opening again is creating some publicity for you!
