Thanks for the thoughts.  He is the one that we are trying to bring glory to, not ourselves.  It is important to remember that.  I write because I love to write, and I hope that it touches someone, but if it doesn't, I know that God sees it,and He is who I am writing for!  Thanks for the great blog.

Pastor Dave, this is beautiful. Granted the Lord has many ways to steer us toward one course of action and away from another. One method might be low readership. But then He could also convict us so strongly to write that we find utter joy in a readership of One!  ~mike

I would like to add one thing to this, if I may :)...

I have found that one of the best ways to increase your own traffic; is to read, comment and star other people blogs.  Not that you do this to receive traffic.  No, you do this to bless others.  And guess what happens?.....The blessing comes right back to you, just like the Word says.  I like when the communication goes both ways.  I comment on theirs and then they come and comment on mine.  It really gets the fellowship going.  And you can meet some wonderful people this way!  So go ahead, give it a try.  Rather then worry about why you aren't getting action, go see to it that others get action.  Always seek to bless and not to be blessed, and you just watch what God does!!

Oh, here's an idea, post links to your blogs on everyone else's blogs. Works like a charm!!!

Better yet, get them to post links to your blogs or even blog about your blogs.

For more information on how to plug a blog, just click on....  Blog Pluggin

You aren't kidding MaryAnn!  Call me shameless, call me what you want, but it works!  I call it free advertising.  If we are willing to pay for it, why won't we take advantage of it when it is free?  It really does the job :)

This is so true Pastor Dave!  What i love most about this whole crazy blogging thing (especially when it comes to church members), is we have a story to tell.  And it's not up to us who, where, when, and how it's recieved,.. because it's God's story.

Some of the best blogs I've ever read were written over 2 years ago.. 2 long years ago, someone decided to write what was on their heart.  Talk about patience!

If all of us were to sit back and think "I don't need to share in what God is doing here because no one's listening to me anyway", I think we'd all be missing out on lots of opportunities to praise Him! 

Thank you for the good words, Pastor D! 

jesus will always be there by your side

Thanks for that encouraging word. Anything and everything we do or say is for the Glory of God and to give him Praise.

Great post!  I used to get sad when I first began writing, but after low visitors to my website and here on MyChurch blogs, God sat me down one day and spoke this Scripture to me:
15:58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

So now I don't worry who reads or stars my blogs!  It's all for God's glory and He'll bring the people to the page that He desires to read it!

Blessings!!

Prudence, Amen and Amen! God uses you in many ways and many times you have no idea that He is using you. I just LOVE the way that God uses each one of us. Even this site's co-founder, Joe, has been instrumental in helping ME to remember what I preach. Thank you Prudence and thank you Joe!
