Over the last 3 years, the Lord has been dealing with me regarding how we, as a nation, use Social Media to propagate our “opinions” and “beliefs” in the hopes of spreading our opinions and beliefs to others. This can be good, if used correctly, but also bad for those bent on evil and misdirection. For self-professed Christians, we ought to take our use of Social Media very seriously.

Ten categories of social media users: 1) The Listener, 2) The Activist, 3) The Spammer, 4) The Passionista, 5) The Social Butterfly, 6) The Trolls, 7) The Influencers, 8) The Early Adopter, 9) the Black Booker, and 10) The Family Person.

As Christians, if we pass a false story (whether knowingly or not), this not only impacts your own integrity, but can also impact the Christian community. Some may disagree, but I believe it is ok to share your opinion about a topic, but, you ought to indicate that it is your opinion if not obviously so.  Think about your heart and the impacts to others. Is your message coming from your heart, or, are you so outraged by an issue that your human bias is blocking what your spirit is telling you?

Don't be rude. Don't be excessive. Don't be possessive or too dependent. Don't be secretive. 

Christians need to be distinctively (yes, even radically) different in the way that we use whatever the world promotes or the culture deems acceptable. The strength of the choice is in your hands.
