It’s crazy to think about what God has done through Before The Cross up to this point! I would have never imagined any of this years ago and just wanted to be obedient to write in the first place. Praise God in everything that He has done and we pray He will continue to do great things as we get going in the year.
We’ve had a total of over 634,000 views on our site, and 247,759 of them happened in 2015 alone!
I’ve been reflecting over our posts for 2015, what people have been searching for, and what’s been most popular throughout the year to get a good gauge for where people are at as they follow Jesus or seek to know more about Him.
It’s interesting to see over time what people search for on the web. If you think about it for a minute, regardless of how people interact with you and what they say, when they go home and they are alone, what they search for truly reveals their heart.
I’m convinced more and more people go online to find their answers and ask their real questions before daring to ask someone in person. While there’s many pros and cons to an approach like that (that’s a completely different blog post), we can take advantage of technology God has given us to meet people right where they are. We can be the Church going to people instead of waiting for them to come to us.
It seems to me from the most views over the past year, people are searching for answers to their questions…are looking for hope and a purpose for their lives…are wanting to improve their marriages and parenting…and want to repent and come before God in desperation.
Let’s go to people as the Church, not wait for them to come to us.
We can learn a lot about people based on what they search for online to get a true heartbeat of where they are at. I pray that this grows my compassion for others and that it would do the same thing for you as we get going in the year.
In everything, so we can glorify God by sharing the love of Christ!
