I was combing through Google Reader, trying to catch up on my blog reading–I fell behind over vacation–and I found Tim Challies has an excellent interview with Darren Rowse up on his blog now:

My critique of Christian blogging is actually similar to my critique of much of what I see happening with the Church today – an overemphasis upon gathering together as believers – at the expense of ‘going into the world to make disciples’.

I came to a point where I saw incredible opportunity in blogging to ‘go’. People are gathering around the web through blogs to learn, build relationships, have dialogue, share their lives, talk about every aspect of their existence – but the majority of Christian bloggers that I knew at the time (including myself) were gathering together in our ‘Holy Huddles’ to do ‘Christian Things’.

I made a decision to spend more time focussing upon going and participating in what I saw happening outside of the ‘Christian Blogosphere’.

I subscribed to Rowse’s ProBlogger months ago, and I think his tips and articles are superb. It’s nice to see him getting more exposure in the Godblogosphere; or should I say it’s nice to see them finally catch on to what he’s doing.
