E-mail Theology
09.5.2008 by Christian
Why do people who claim to know Christ think that they are being good Christians by forwarding e-mails? I claim here and now that they are being anything but Christian by forwarding those e-mails; they are being lazy, ignorant, timid, and fearful gossip mongers. (I realize that many have been slowly deceived and pulled into this practice by others, but come on. Take a minute to think before you act. Just because it’s easy, doesn’t make it valuable.)
Instead of forwarding an e-mail that you haven’t checked the validity of by taking 30 seconds to look up on snopes.com or simply google it, why don’t you take that 30 seconds to do something useful and forward a dollar for every person on your e-mail list to our brothers and sisters in severe need in Asia (or some other continent) through one of these ministries: International Disaster Emergency Service, Gospel For Asia, Voice of the Martyrs, etc.
