Luckily for Your Website, Jesus Can Raise The Dead
April 18th, 2008 Categories: Technology for Pastors
I want to present you with the honest, pure, perhaps painful truth. Your website is dead.
It lived a good life. It served a purpose, at least for a time. It kept people informed, and it looked pretty slick in it’s day. But now it’s dead.
Why is it dead? Because people no longer visit it. People no longer rely on it. It is incapable of reaching the web 2.0 generation. It’s lost it’s evangelistic power, if it ever had any. It has no voice. What a tragedy.
Good news for you. Luckily for your website, Jesus can raise the dead. The Lord has the power to make old things become new, and I have the technology to do it. It’s called a blog, and it’s a sure-fire way to bring life back into your online endeavors.
Here are three simple truths that you’ll realize once you slam a wordpress template into your ftp and start blogging:
- You don’t need no stinking content management software. Your content management will be your brain cells. What a noble concept. Uploading new content and managing your stuff is easier than ever. It’ll also save you some money.
- Comments are not the devil. You’ll begin to love the way that a blog will engage your congregation and spur them on to the next level. You might even be surprised at the depth of the spiritual revelation that your people have to share.
- You’re more creative than you thought. You’ll be surprised at all of the cool articles that you come up with. So will your flock. You just might go from being the Pastor to being that cool guy with a blog and something to say….and with Jesus….and with a great hair style…..and a trendy shirt? Perhaps that’s too much. But still, you’re going to like the way you look in a blog, I guarantee it.
