Facebook

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.

What a wonderful world we live in where we can make a comment in a Podcast that triggers a response on someone’s Facebook page and that triggers a mea culpa on someone else’s blog. Ah, technology.

Ok, this guy was a little too wrapped up in Facebook:

A British man who murdered his wife after becoming enraged when she changed her relationship status on Facebook to “single” was jailed for at least 18 years late Thursday.

Facebook is a tool used to connect with people. That’s it. Don’t make it an idol. Use it to glorify the Lord.

Don’t Waste Your Facebook

January 21, 2009

With all due respect to John Piper and the fine folks at Covenant Life Church who did a whole Don’t Waste Your … series this summer, the first time I recall reading “Don’t Waste Your Facebook” was on The Shepherd Press Blog the other day. They’ve put up a number of posts already this year addressing Facebook.

Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life was the spark that led me to rename this blog “The Unwasted Life“. My life, unwasted? Not yet, but I press on for the “already perfected” life that awaits. However, I know that one day I will meet my Savior and then the “not yet” will be gone.
