More blogs needed on stewardship and giving
Duct Tape Marketing is a blog about marketing for the small business. It recently pointed out that 72% of online users read a blog and 36% think more positively about companies that have blogs.
What this means is that increasingly blogs are becoming a legitimate, viable means of communication with those who share an interest in or responsbility for any given topic. That should be a challenge to those of us who have been given the task for championing stewardship and giving within denominational and local church ministry.
We need more blogs on the subjects of stewardship and giving. These are essential topics that speak directly to the Church's ability to sustain and fund its ministry today and in the future.
I know there are more voices out there that frequently address these topics. I've searched and have only found a few voices in the blogoshpere. But I'm sure there is more out there.
What other blogs are you reading on stewardship and giving? Would you consider starting your own? It's simple, and we need as many advocates for these two subjects as we can possibly have.
(Note: If you're interested in starting your own but not sure how, let me know. I'll be happy to show you the way.)

I'd be happy to guide my blogging to include stewardship and giving. I'm trying to utilize a blog to challenge and encourage my church and others to follow the Lord God with all of their lives, so this would be a natural aspect. Let me know.

Doug,
Great! We agree. This is exactly the type of response I was hoping for: church leaders guiding their communities to a better understanding of Biblical Stewardship.
Thanks for taking the challenge. Keep me posted on your blogging related to stewardship and giving.
Blessings, Ben.
