Prefer Facebook over the Bible?

March 28, 2009

I check things like Facebook every day. But do I read my Bible every day? I have to respond with embarrassment and a sinking heart that too often I do not.

Tim Sweetman takes a look at the idol of Facebook (and all social media for that matter) after seeing a friend check out Facebook on his iPhone during a recent sermon.

This a very challenging article. I relate with Tim all too much. I imagine we all do. Depending on the day, reading my favorite blogs, learning Django, keeping up with the Stars are just a few of the things I devote my time to instead of reading God’s Word. I’ve tried to improve, but I continually struggle with it. How about you?

HT: Tim Challies.

  • One can use Facebook for spiritual purposes as well. It's a nice way to see what friends are thinking or meditating on. Some actually put prayer requests online. Facebook is not another Bible, but rather a way to share one's thoughts and keep in touch.
