I have had an online ministry for more than 15 years. God has humbled me with the way He has chosen to use this influence He has given me. I try not to take it for granted.<\/p>\n
One thing that has changed since I began ministering online\u201d\u201dand it\u2019s changed for all of us\u201d\u201dis the rise of social media. Whether you believe it\u2019s a good addition or not, we cannot deny its impact on culture or even on the church. Personally, I have chosen to use it for good as much as possible.<\/p>\n
Still, it disturbs me some of the ways I see Christians respond on social media. I can post one thing, whether serious or not\u201d\u201dand I do use humor intentionally as a part of my online presence\u201d\u201dand it never amazes me how someone might respond. I have referred to the practice as a “slam and run.” I just have to thank God at times for the delete option. But it\u2019s an example of a bigger problem. Christians aren\u2019t always behaving well online. What we\u2019d never say offline we have no problem saying online.<\/p>\n
Seriously, this isn\u2019t a personal plea. This is a kingdom plea.<\/p>\n
