Social Networking

1 Corinthians 9: 22, 23 says this: "I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. " I really like this verse. It's a great "evangelism' verse. It's a great 'gospel-living-sharing' verse.

Which leads me to social networking. Granted, I'm an 'expressor', a communicator. But I love that we live in the 'Media Age' where we have so many outlets to broadcast and communicate. I haven't figured out YouTubing yet, and all the video communication one can do. But I do love Twitter, Facebook, and the array of blogs out there.

Which leads me to my point: use these social networking venues to live out and share your faith. I've discovered Twitter and Facebook are great places to Speak The Word to your people. Every morning I take my cell phone into my bedroom, where I have my quiet time, and as God speaks to me, I 'tweet' my different verses to my Twitter account. Whoever follows me on Twitter can get a good verse for the day. You can do the same thing on your facebook. Share a verse, quiet time thought, or a prayer request.

In Psalm 9: 1, King David says, "I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. I will be filled with joy because of You." Be a teller. Be a broadcaster. Let Twitter be your 'tract'.

    What a great idea to tweet verses to your Twitter followers! I never thought to take my phone with me during my quiet time, but you are maximizing technology for God's purposes. Great job!
