Principles for Online Communication

Nathan Busenitz has written a 4-part series that seeks to answer the question, “What principles should guide Christians who interact on blogs?” Here are the ten principles that he discusses:

1. Have Your Quiet Time First
2. Stay Within the Lines
3. Consider the Consequences
4. Check Your Motives
5. Check Your Facts
6. Make It Personal (Because It Is)
7. Speak the Truth in Love
8. If in Doubt, Wait It Out
9. Choose Your Battles Carefully
10. Maintain the Family Honor

There is nothing new and earth shattering here, but these are solid reminders for everyone who interacts with others on blogs, forums, newsgroups, email and other internet-based forms of communication. I commend them to you.

Here are the four posts:

• The Blog in Our Eyes (Part 1)
• The Blog in Our Eyes (Part 2)
• The Blog in Our Eyes (Part 3)
• The Blog in Our Eyes (Part 4)
