The 4th of July is fun to celebrate freedom.
I can think of no better celebration than rejoicing over one'strue freedom through salvation in Jesus.
This holiday brings back a special memory for me concerning myson William. Around this time three years ago, he accepted Jesus into his heart and became a Christian. It was a true celebrate freedom in Jesus Time!
Ever with a camera in my hand, I recorded a video with him sharing a bit about it, and uploaded it to my YouTube account and put it on one of my blogs.
I didn't think much of it.
A few weeks went by when all of a sudden I was getting these e-mails relaying comments on my blog. It was this very blog too by the way.
They were NOT pretty and nice comments.
Without my knowing it, a very agnostic and atheist blog had picked up my YouTube video, put it on their blog, and proceeded to rip me as a Christian. They said some of the ugliest things…that I was brain washing my child and was crazy…That was not the worst of things said…
Before I had shot this video, I had made up my mind….kind of like drawing a line in the sand, saying to myself that I would continue using video online to proclaim Jesus Christ. I had started my own video ministry, Keys To Be Free, about three months before this all out vicious attack.
The Celebrate Freedom Video Of Controversy
I thought about taking the video down…but then…thought…NO!
I had a few people stick up for me and share in the joy of William's moment to celebrate freedom in Christ! But the attacks were more than the hoorays!
It was a pivotal time though. This attack made me all the more committed to study and learn about video and how to produce it FOR MINISTRY!!
Today, I am more passionate than ever to use video to proclaim the goodness of our Lord Jesus. AND I'm committed to help others do the same.
Yes, I want to see YOU harness the power of the internet for preaching….for the Gospel…for your ministry.
I guess this time of the year reminds me how good God has been as I see others use the internet positively to impact others for Christ, as they celebrate their freedom in Him.
My husband and I have had a online digital ministry for over a year at FirebrandMinistry.com…..with visitors all over the world.
So what about you? Has God been tugging on your heart to be brave, be bold, and look into a camera and speak!! …or WRITE….or TEACH…or PREACH…online?
I put up a new series…15 videos….to help those who are ready to go forward in their ministry online…whether it's for video or blogging…or social media or…
