What One Member Can Do

To give my readers an idea of how many people on the Internet one member of the Lord’s church can influence — since January 1, 2009 until today, October 22, 2010, my article blog tracker tells me that this article blog has experienced 53,175 visitors and 227,493 page views.

I’m averaging 70% new visitors and 30% returning visitors to the article blog, which tells me that there are folks out there in our world who are looking for God’s truth (John 17:17). The site has now been viewed by some individual (or individuals) in 181 countries around the world.

With God’s help and a whole lot of fortitude, this is what one member of the Lord’s church can do. Just think what 100 members could do with 100 Bible article blogs.

Plus, think of the fact that we have the capability of teaching God’s word seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day — the World Wide Web never sleeps; never calls in sick; never takes a vacation; never gripes or complains — a wonderful medium and tool for spreading the saving gospel of Christ to a world lost in sin (Romans 3:23).

Also, think of the fact that as we are teaching others the saving gospel of Christ, we are teaching ourselves as well (Romans 2:21). In the process of teaching others, we will increasingly “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18), thus making ourselves “sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2 Timothy 2:21).

Brethren, as “fellow workers” with God (1 Corinthians 3:9; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:58), we can “turn the world upside down” for the cause of Christ (Acts 17:1-6; cf. Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; 2 Timothy 2:1-2).

Let’s think about it! (And then take action!).

P.S. Additionally, we can also teach the saving gospel of Christ to others on Bible study forums and social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Brethren, there are a multitude of mediums and opportunities available to us. Let us take advantage of the many possibilities, bringing glory to the Lord (Isaiah 43:7; Matthew 5:16).
