Christian Baptist Fellowship

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

There’s a lot of hum in the Christian community about the effect the Web has on ministries. There is a thing to be said for this kind of Christian witnessing. It definitely is helpful to be ready to talk to folk thousands of miles away, spreading the news of Jesus without even having to leave your own house. Christianity, you see, isn’t simply about evangelizing a group of doctrines.

It is about Christian fellowship joining with fellow followers of a righteous community devoted to spreading Christian values. As an element of a Christian Baptist Fellowship group, I recognize that the most vital relationship is between the worshiper and God.

You will not be doing much to spread the news of God. You see, we’ve been a community since the start of our faith, and we were meant to be a community. The web is excellent for chatting, but it is not good for maintaining real Christian Fellowships. Even a modern church should not only use modern techniques of Christian fellowship. Because the new techniques of evangelizing help reach the more youthful generation doesn’t suggest the old techniques should be dropped.

You can worship Jesus from in front of your PC, but you need to also worship him with other followers. For some, Christian Fellowship may begin with the web, but it can’t end with the Net. Christian ministries need to spread the news of God in the world, and followers need a community around them to help them remain constant to God’s trail. Only in that way can we make certain a church stays robust and true to its guidelines. On your own, it is so easy to evangelise one thing and do another. With fellow followers you are more likely to be held responsible for your actions.
