Introduction
Matthew 22:37-39 – The two greatest commands. Love God and love your neighbor.
How do we harness the incredibly powerful tool that social media is for good?
Social media is like a car. By itself, it is not moral or immoral.
Ways to use social media for good:
Be holy (different)
I Peter 1:13-16 – We should stand out and be different from the world.
I Peter 2:12 – We should be pure and holy online just as we should be in the physical world.
Ephesians 5:3-12 – With social media, we have the ability to show what we like and support.
Extend your influence
Matthew 5:16
Acts 28:30-31
Matthew 25:31-36
Social media is a force multiplier. We should use it to influence others for good!
Social media can have a negative effect if everyone is glued to their phones and we don’t talk to each other.
Romans 12:13; James 1:27 – We have a charge to be aware of other’s needs and help them!
Use social media as a tool, not as a replacement or distraction.
Sherry Turkle – Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age
We are losing the skill of empathizing with each other.
Matthew 7:12; Titus 3:2; Galatians 5:13 – Show consideration for each other and serve each other.
Just the presence of a phone on the table changes the conversation and level of interaction.
Speak with grace
Colossians 4:3-6
James 3:5-6
I Peter 3:9 – Don’t return evil for evil.
Proverbs 12:18
Words of kindness can stop one from spiraling into depression.
Proverbs 16:24
Seek out spiritual food
I Peter 2:2
Proverbs 13:20 – Walk with the wise.
Proverbs 15:14 – The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge.
