In reviewing online ministry work, I reason Christian ministry websites need to be technologically current, content updated, with dated articles both recent and archived, in order to provide ministry credibility.
An online ministry needs to provide visitors, spiritually, with materials, on a regular basis and this can lead to committed regular pageviews and the greater use of more ministry materials.
In this regard, Christian ministry websites should work at 'Being relevant'. But to provide a message that is palatable within our present Western world system, influenced by secular philosophy, at the compromise of the gospel?
No.

Variable symbol
LANGER, SUSANNE K (1953)(1967) An Introduction to Symbolic Logic, Dover Publications, New York.
'If we wish to express symbolically the logical form of a whole list of propositions, we may do this by using what is called a variable symbol. Such a symbol is not a name assigned to a certain one of the elements, but means A. B, C,...or J...(85).
'It is called a variable because it can mean all the elements in turn; its meaning may vary from A to J.' (85).
Langer uses lower case italics for variables to distinguish from specific names. (85).
The author explains that 'once a variable is given a meaning, it keeps it throughout the whole assertion; but it must be remembered that in another assertion it may have another meaning. (87).
Her example (for some clarity, I might add).
a fm a (fm=fellowman)
Here a=J
Therefore J fm J.
The point here I reason, is that because 'E' and other letters of the alphabet were not mentioned within the related elementary propositions of one total assertion (87); they cannot be replaced by a variable within an assertion or equation. However, in another assertion and equation a variable can be equated with 'E'.
