Why a blog?<\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s information age\u2014the world of Web 2.0\u2014the average Net user spends 13 hours online per week1<\/a>. That\u2019s a lot of time! And in this emerging culture of Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other social media, we have new ways to share, learn, and interact with each other.<\/p>\n

There are ups and downs to this. As we all know, the internet bears a plethora of mixed messages: some obvious, some subliminal, some good, some bad, some funny, some informative, some wise, some foolish. Amidst this flood of messages, we want to join the ranks of many faithful ministries in making sure the message of the Bible\u2014the gospel of Jesus Christ\u2014is the message that sticks.<\/p>\n

Thus, at Blue Letter Bible we want to continue serving Jesus faithfully by promoting sound doctrine, the study of God\u2019s Word, a biblical worldview, the edification of His church, and the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
