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.

Read Piper’s “More on Not Using Twitter During Worship Services” in full.

Scripture for email, blogs and twitter

April 17, 2009

Thanks to Josh Harris (@HarrisJosh) for these applying scripture truths to email, blogs and twitter.

Psalm 141:3

Set a guard, O Lord, over my keyboard; keep watch over the door of my send button!
James 1:19

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to read, slow to reply all, slow to click send.
Proverbs 10:19

When blogging is abundant, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his keyboard is prudent.
Proverbs 12:18

There is one whose comments on blogs are like sword thrusts, but the comments of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 14:7

Don’t follow the Twitter feed of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.
Proverbs 12:23

A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the Twitter feed of fools proclaims folly.

What a great reminder about the relevancy of scripture to our modern world.
