————————————
Lord,
I thank you for facebook. It has allowed me to connect with my family and friends all across the world.
I thank you that facebook has shown me all of the people I have dated or thought about dating in the past. I am grateful that I am not in a relationship with any of those people today.
I’m trying to understand some of the Christians that post updates on social media sites like facebook and Twitter. Hopefully you can help me out. There are many different types of Christians I could target. Today, I want to discuss those Christians that choose to use profanity on social networking sites.
I’m trying to understand how someone can boldly profess the name of the Lord on Monday and then they are using profanity on their facebook status on Tuesday. These are the same people that freely use four letter words on Wednesday, but want to tell everyone what “thus sayeth the Lord” on Thursday. When I see this kind of behavior, I can’t help but to shake my head. How am I or anyone else really supposed to take these people seriously?
Like many other people, the first time I created a Twitter account and logged in, I didn’t get it. Twitter gives me the ability to tell people what I am doing. So what? I could do that by updating my status on facebook and all of my friends were on facebook and they weren’t on Twitter.
Looking back, I realize how completely ignorant I was back then. Twitter has a value that is completely different from facebook, MySpace or any other social network.
Are you a member of a Christian social network? Have you thought about joining one? I know, I know, with MySpace, facebook and Twitter, you’re probably asking yourself, “Do I really need to join another social network?” The answer is probably no. Let’s be real, there are only a few of us that actually NEED to belong to any social network. However, they are great for connecting with old friends and making new ones.
On Mondays, pay close attention to the status updates on your facebook and Twitter accounts. You can easily tell who went to church on Sunday by the updates that are posted on Monday. People are so inspired and encouraged after Sunday service, and they should be. There are many people who use their facebook and Twitter accounts to decree this and declare that. Maybe just my friends do this, but I’m sure I’m not alone.
