It's a medium that can be greatly used and greatly abused (just like telephone, television, radio, printing press, etc.). The blogosphere requires just as much discernment between clicks on the mouse as one does with the clicks on the television remote. Hopefully the programming here is substantive and done in a spirit of excellence (at least that is my intention). That’s right Danny.

We can't throw out the baby with the bath water (okay, did I say that correctly?). Yes, there are many, many badly written blogs. But, there are quite a few blogs written by men and women who pay attention to detail and quality when writing. Thanks for this post. Dr. Black brings up a great point about blogging.

Michael, Great to hear from you brother. I look forward to discussing church planting and other stuff in the future. I think we had the same professor (who said that blogging is bad for ________ reasons). I am really puzzled by some of the professors out there regarding the blogosphere. Maybe it is that they are reading some really bad blogs. Or, maybe it is that they are reading some really good blogs--but not good enough (for them). Either way, it poses a challenge more for them than I think it does for popular culture because no matter how good a thinker and writer you are, if you relegate yourself to elite erudites, the purpose of theological education is supplanted for secondary (at best) purposes. Sigh. Tony,

Just yesterday, one of my professors complained about the blogosphere for the very reasons Black was responding to (poor writing, not very thoughtful, too much rapid response and not enough reflection, etc.). But if good writing necessarily requires a long period of time, I suppose those who embraced Guttenburg's new technology could have registered similar complaints. I say, let's flood the blog world with enough great content that our voices are heard. What a refreshing word.
