The gospel of Jesus Christ is regarded as one founded on social justice. As the issues facing humanity change, it is not surprising to see a spectacular Christian social justice blog that captures the message in light of the teachings by Jesus. While many handle issues from a Christian perspective, few can be regarded as faithful to the fundamentals of Christianity.
A blogger who wishes to be regarded in light of Christ must be faithful to the ideals of Christianity in his interpretation. The message should not be twisted to achieve a particular end. This allows Christians visiting the site to understand the world around them the way Christ would have desired. This gives relevance to the gospel today despite a changing society.
Identity of such blogs can also be determined by the message they carry and the issues that are of concern to them. With increased environmental degradation, health concerns, wars, education and conservation, Christians have been forced to wade into the debate through blogs. There are advocates whose aim is to ensure that resources around the world are distributed equitably. Their voice can be heard from blogs.
As the society advances, some of the issues being encountered by people around the world were not directly captured in the bible. Technology has intervened and despite making life easier for humanity, it has been misused time and again for ulterior gains. The aim of Christian bloggers is to highlight areas where technology is being misused and areas where it could be put to better use.
The people or organization responsible for running a blog may also be a sign of its content and identity. Religious leaders have appreciated the power of the internet in reaching a younger generation. They address issues of concern in a language that is easier to understand for the technology savvy faithful. The information is easier to understand for the young people despite the message having been drawn from the teachings of Christ who lived centuries ago.
Politics remains central to every social advocacy initiative. The influence of politics on the daily lives of individuals and populations means that it cannot escape the attention of bloggers. Bloggers use the platform to keep politicians, their policies and regimes in check. The aim is to ensure that policies implemented are sensitive to the needs of masses.
Christianity is facing increased pressure from social changes. The traditional definition of marriage is under attack from single parenthood, gays and homosexuals, among other definitions. Bloggers are using their platforms to advocate for the Christianity understanding of father, mother and children. However, as churches divide and hold alternative views, the blogs get divided as well. Some push for the traditional definition while others advocate for a pragmatic approach.
Blogs have been used to highlight the work being carried out by individuals, leaders and groups in churches. This includes missions to different parts of the world, especially in areas that have been affected by disasters. The blogs showcase the work and attempts by Christians around the world to push for justice for the down trodden. The person or institution managing the blog will lend credibility to it.
