WEB AND PRINT PUBLISHING
The latest frontier in
proclaiming a message is, of course, the internet. And the hottest thing on the
internet these days is the web log, or blog.
If you are not familiar with it, a blog is an online journal. Authors post a
series of entries that appear on their home page in the order they were written,
the most recent appearing first. You can write whatever you want—from
describing what you had for breakfast to a commentary on the latest economic
trends. While many blogs do just record the daily diaries of adolescents, others
are performing a more serious role in society. They are now a premier source of
news and opinion. Blogging is freedom of the press at its most elementary and
most personal and as such, provides Christians a great chance to proclaim the
truth.
I am trying to take advantage of that. I
write RunawayPlanet.com.
This provides a good way to reach the once a week radio audience on a
daily basis.
The goal of the site is simply to expose the lies in our culture and explain
God’s truth using daily commentary on current events.
It also includes a storehouse of answers to the question “Why
should I believe Christianity is true?” I provide my arguments and answers and
provide links to all sorts of
great apologetic internet resources.
"Blogging
is changing the media world and could, I think, foment a revolution in how
journalism functions in our culture. [Blogging could bring] a publishing revolution more profound than
anything since the printing press."
