Don’t Twitter during Worship

May 29, 2009

John Piper follows up on Josh Harris’ (@HarrisJosh) post yesterday “Should We Use Twitter During Church?

That is, we think you should use Twitter before and after corporate worship to say what you take in and take out. But when you are in corporate worship, Worship! There is a difference between communion with God and commenting on communion with God.

Don’t tweet while having sex. Don’t tweet while praying with the dying. Don’t tweet when your wife is telling you about the kids. There’s a season for everything. Multitasking only makes sense when none of the tasks requires heart-engaged, loving attention.
