So this has been a deja vu conversation I keep having with people is my opp ion of Facebook.
Here goes...
I see facebook as a place where a lot of people tend to be a little double faced. You can see them on Sunday morning and they are a hundred percent in love with the Lord, then you see them on facebook or myspace, and there are pictures with some more inappropriate things going. Not that I have ANY place to judge them or say what they are doing is wrong. (Working on the log in my eye first -wink-).
But think about this please...
What if we started using Facebook and myspace, and blogs as a place to glorify the Lord? How amazing would that be? If just by looking at peoples Facebooks you just felt the presence of the Holy spirit? If we had EVERY aspect of our lives being arrows pointing straight up to heaven. Instead of showing how "cool" we think we are, or how attractive and having tons of pictures with the opposite sex. We are to be blameless in the eyes of the Lord. I am by no means perfect, and I am sure there might be stuff on my facebook that might not be the best. But make a conscience effort the glorify Him with your facebook. My sisters call me up the second something is questionable on my facebook, and its great accountability. I would never want the word of my testimony killed my something silly that was in a picture, or comment. And people who are role models, with some of your things, would you want kids who look up to you doing those things? If you were in a club, and you could have not have even drink en a sip or done anything but all they see is hey they are in a bar, and I look up to them as a spiritual leader? Then they go and do it because you in that portrait have told them you approve of that. Try not to give off any appearance of evil!
1 Timothy 1:5-7
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart, and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teacher of the law, but they do not know what are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
Titus 1:7
Since an overseer is entrust with God's work, he must be blameless- not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refuse those who oppose it.
It is powerful to start trying to glorify God even in the small aspects of your life. In the things that do not seem like a big deal. Be a light for Jesus in EVERY dark place, even if it is already dimly light, make it brighter.
Loving through His love,
-Naomi
