BLOGGING COMMUNICATIONS
Most bloggers – to state the obvious – feel they have something to say.
They want to pass on to others – some angle on a particular subject that they consider others should hear or receive.
The subjects bloggers share about – are of course numerous.
But everyone wishes to communicate or pass on their ‘findings’.
Is anyone ‘convinced’?
They are – if they buy the product, put the given advice into operation in their life, put into practice the health suggestions, take on board the ‘how to’ demonstrated, learn from an instruction, enjoy the communication and store it away in the grey matter, implement some lifestyle change – and so on.
This is part of what makes the world go round. We humans want to communicate. Share our lives in more ways than one.
We all follow certain interests. That’s what clubs are for. That’s what organisations are about. Communicating and sharing and agreeing that certain things are worthwhile, important, or just plane good fun.
Then there is political beliefs. So, some, in the party of their persuasion, join the campaign at elections. Throw their ‘lot in’ with a given crowd of fellow adherents.
Then there is sport and the teams we support. We all like to be part of a particular ‘clan’.
So to be part-off, to give one’s opinion, to ‘present our case’, to seek to influence – is common to all (we hear the term ‘influencers’ more than ever).
All of this is part of the human race’s mental make-up.
Then perhaps in recognition of this, and with a desire to be ‘different’, – some looking for the alternative – go for seclusion.
‘Let’s get out of here, ‘let’s leave this rat race’. So the path of non-communication and social escape is sought through reclusiveness. (Off grid etc.)
Various religious orders accommodate this approach to life.
But one thing we can say is that God Himself has always communicated with mankind. Even after mankind chose to disobey what He said, God still communicates through His leaders and prophets, and ultimately through His Son. (Heb. 1/2).
So the desire to communicate, is part then, of God’s personality also.
What is the most important thing one person could communicate to another? Do we need to know a particular scenario first, in order to answer such a question?
i.e. the most important thing will be whatever the given scenario calls for?
For Christians the most important piece of communication in existence is John 3/16-17:
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
This covers all scenarios, problems, or difficulties. All catastrophes, illnesses, heartbreaking experiences. All loss, all hurt, pain, disappointment, turmoil and confusion.
This is the most important communication in existence – in all life or death situations.
Conversely there are communications to be shunned and rejected.
I Timothy 4/
7 But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
I have highlighted in bold, in this verse the reason John 3/16-17 is the most important communication on the planet:-
having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
