These blogs or websites should give an invitation to all who visit the site to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Of course, it would be great also to have material to help the saints grow in the Lord. I think it is important that every Christian Church develops a blog or website.

The Word declares that it will not return void -- so post away and you'll be pleasantly surprised how the Lord will place people in your path!

He said to me concerning this "do that whichsoever seemeth good in thy sight". This got me to thinking, instead of just podcast, why not produce a webcast? The very same month HE lead me to join a video broadcasting service in which it is not only very cost efficient, but since HE has gifted me and my wife (Joyce) greatly in musical ability, singing songwriting, 40 years plus, playing fingerstyle guitar. In the last ten years HE has given us over 75 Gospel songs which "rightly divide His word of truth" The cost of webcasting? ONLY $8.00 a month for unlimited audio and video. Thee sound quality is quite acceptable and the picture is good enough that most whom have watched have had only good things to say. Who is the Producer, you may ask? YOU ARE! As I said the LORD lead me to bliptv.com Here you sign up for a free service that limits the amount of (MB) to around 100MB a month or so, so I asked why limit the amount, when for just $8.00 a month Yes $8.00 a month gives you unlimited access. From 3 min. videos to a hour and a half (or more). How is this possible? Through a minor purchase of webcam equipment of around $100.00 and the $8.00 dollars a month (bliptv.com) Pro service, YOU can produce your own webcasts of Sermons, Praise and Worship music, ect! I must also note that OCC hosting package must be upgraded to at least a BRONZE account, so that you can have multimedia, mp3 bandwidth! Bliptv.com allows you to automatically feed every webcast directly to your multimedia page. You simply "name your show", use your webcam for audio and video to "tape" the webcast, then "upload" the avi. file to bliptv and they will RSS (feed) the file to your (showplayer) which is the same as a windows media player would allow you to produce and watch video! You can also add the feed directly to your blog page or your website! It has been a blessing for the LORD to show me how to do this, and you can do it as well. Under the "showplayer" there you can give sermon guidelines, or blog about the epipisode content, therefore making it easy to webcast and affordble as well to spread the glory of His Gospel. May this bless you as it has blessed me, for as HE is in control of all things, ALL things were made to and for, the "express intent of HIS heart". Glory be unto Jesus forever, for ALL THINGS are truly "under His feet"!! When I first read your post about supercharging a podcast with a blog, it moved me into asking the LORD. He said to me concerning this “do that
whichsoever seemeth good in thy sight”.

I see daily scripture feeds, but what I am more interested in getting (and maybe through this, in providing with someone being the guide) is some depth and understanding into the Word. Maybe a verse (or set of verses) and some explanation behind it… a mini-sermon I guess? I can’t get enough truth in my day - just seems to get too busy up until everyone is asleep and it’s just me (like right now). Guess I’d also to see more of the fellowship of the church shown online too - the small groups (like our group with the Partingtons), the kids programs (AWANA) that I help with and two of my kids go to on Wednesdays, and more that I know we aren’t even involved in or can make it to. A link to this too: Are you a good person?

If you go forward with this, at your church, please post another comment to let us know how it goes and anything you learn from your experience.

How has it worked. I am not sure we could go as indepth as you describe and we are a very small church but people are quite spread out. For example we travel 120miles round trip to attend church today and cannot go every Sunday so tend to miss out on what the Lord is doing. I thought blogging would work to keep community growing. Your answer would be appreciated. I have not run this by my pastor just checking out possibilities at this time. I had this same thought just today and was doing some googling and came across you.

I dug my heels in and headed for My Space...I did my best to also encourage other older wiser adults to join in there...Our Lord is busily working and has sent many who are well trained onto the site, and all praises are to HIM, amen! I will be praying that many more join in this endeavor, in Jesus name I pray, amen!
