I've told my wife often that the biggest scare I have with my online ministry is getting into a habit of just witnessing and nurturing the Christ followers. Don't get me wrong, my personality is to encourage and there is nothing I love more than to lift up and brighten someone's day. Having that been said, I want to always be aware of the lost and dying world out there and I never want to be so inner circle focused that I lose site of my task to daily win others to Christ and his love for them.
When I get hate email and comments I have learned to look at it as a positive because I at least know that the word is getting out to the lost as well as those who are trying to better themselves.
If you find that you are getting criticized from others who don't believe like you believe remind yourself of the story of Joseph in Genesis 50 where he states, "But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive"
