The longer I am a Christian, the more I’m convinced that we all need some Christian encouragement on our journey. I truly believe that God designed us to be in community, spurring one another on.
I love that we get to encourage one another on a weekly basis as we gather to worship God together. And I would hope that we are lovingly encouraging and building one another up regularly, not just on Sundays.
I feel fortunate too, to be a part of a growing online community that’s devoted to sharing Christian encouragement in a fascinating way. Just recently, I wrote about how we can shine our light in this digital age.
One way that we get to shine God’s light online is via Christian blogs and websites. To the glory of God, writers and bloggers are spreading the Good News in real and relatable ways.
