In this episode we discuss...
- our five points on the rural pastor and social media!
- CAVEAT: social media can be a blessing to disseminate a biblical, God glorifying message. We obviously use different platforms for the podcast, but we caution why, how, and when they are used.
- Social Media can be a CESSPOOL.
- 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
- It seems as if we have enough trouble working on personal holiness and living blameless lives in the real world! Why launch yourself blindly into a world with far more opportunities for sin and far fewer natural and logical consequences.
- Social Media can be a PEEP SHOW.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
- Not only for highly charged sexual immorality.
- It seems like everybody has an agenda and is highly trained at getting clicks.
- Why do you want to dive into someplace where so many people are rewarded specifically for getting you to react?
- Social Media can be more of a CAGE MATCH.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10
- It provides horrible context for brotherly love.
- Social media can be worse than the sin the CROUCHES AT YOUR DOOR.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:11
- It’s in your pocket! It can be a great temptation against living quietly and minding our own affairs.
- Social media can be a MAGNIFYING GLASS.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:12
- You better watch every step if you are going to walk properly before outsiders, because they are watching you!
