Can blogs make a difference?
An acquaintance of mine started a new website called http://www.PresenTruth.com (yes only one “T"). His goal? To create the largest multi-media website in Adventism. On the site you can find anything from job postings to airline tickets, from sermons to blog entries.
I recently read one of the blog entries to see what kind of thoughts were being discussed. You can see the dialog that I am referring to by going to by CLICKING HERE. Quite honestly none of what I write next will make much sense without reading blog article and comments, but I wanted to point something out.
Knowledge is progressive, or at least it should be. That in and of itself is a beautiful thing. Why? Because I may be screaming from atop my soapbox something that I passionately believe and would die on the hill for. But then that belief could be challenged one day and I could recognize that what I thought was truth, may have been somewhat accurate but not entirely accurate. Once this pattern happens in a persons life a time or two, it seems to me that the heart becomes softened; that somehow we become more accepting of others, less quick to judge.

Ugh....
I’m dumbfounded by this new website. Although I can appreciate the many progressive comments to counter such rigid thinking in the posting you chose, it’s a battle I’d avoid after reading the mission of the website’s owner. I think their rules of engagement (upholding remnant, SOP, 1844, etc) has already been violated in that one post alone!
