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.

Brit kills wife over Facebook status

January 23, 2009

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.
