I think...people should never quote themselves (on their blogs or wherever). It just looks arrogant, as if no one else has ever came up with a similar or exact idea (sometimes with near exact wording). Heck it is practically plagiarism, taking probably what Jesus or Paul or another theologian has said/written as your own. Give credit where credit is due (like God revealing a tidbit of wisdom), and take time to see if someone else has said the idea before you. Aren't quotes supposed to be quoting someone else and not yourself?

Basically it looks as if they only focus on themselves and ignorant of all the books in the world. This goes double for Christian bloggers. Seriously, the amount of Christian and theological text spans several thousand years...no idea or controversy or explanation of the Gospel is new anymore, just rediscovered time and time again in a new person's life. Last time I checked, the message and life of the Gospel was timeless, living Word alive with God before time began.

So if you are going to share, share it in a personal way without a need to give glory to yourself by adding your name to the end of it. Wasn't that the very purpose of saying Amen right?

aka go read some books, even some fiction (or watch some sermons). There is a lot of wisdom there. Also go listen to someone's testimony. There is a lot of life experience everyone has, and it is your job to go immerse yourself in it, and maybe do some good as well

Just...don't be like this guy. Seriously...giving pre-set links to immediately post his quotes on twitter? His message and content are for sure good, but he's got quite a head

Update: I don't want anyone to ever quote me. What I know, my knowledge and wisdom, are gifts from God revealed by the Holy Spirit as Truth. And if it is Truth, then it is consistent with what God has revealed to everyone that came before me, so my ideas are most likely not new. since Truth has been constant from the beginning of time. And if you resonate with any of my ideas or experiences, then that is God working in you through me, and He gets all the credit.

In each of us God reveals the tiniest fraction of Himself, as if He is a vast ocean and we hold only a tiny drop in our lives, but together as the Church we proclaim to the world His Love and His Kingdom.

“In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that – and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison -you do not know God at all. As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you." - C.S. Lewis
