Well, as if in response to yesterday’s post, today we have the new website Gospelr. This is a Christian Twitter of sorts, although it is not being billed as such. It is a microblogging gospel tool according to the creators of the service.
I don’t want to be negative on what the creators are trying to do here. They have a great mission and idea-I even like some of the features they have made part of their service. But I can’t help but wonder if this is a ” should we just because we can” type of situation.
Does it just add to the christian ghetto? Are we really going to reach lots of non-christian friends and unchurches through this website better than we could through Twitter itself?
I think most of the people I know would meet idea with a sigh and a rolling of the eyes. ”Just another Christian culture copycat.”
I really do hope that this site in some way advances the kingdom, and I admire the obviously large effort that went into creating it. I just can’t help but question it’s appropriateness or necessity.
Am I being unfair?
Here’s what some other folk are saying
Here’s what Gospelr is saying about themselves
Also, does Gospelr sound like a Dutch word to anyone else?
