To Face book or not to Face book?

 

  Boasting somewhere around 300 million active users, a dedication that rivals that of Harry Potter fan clubs with 50% of it users logging on every day. A worldwide sociological foot print that draws in more than 70% of its users from outside the United States.

   Needless to say and nothing new; Facebook is an influential entity in our culture. Young people, old people and people from all different nations use Facebook.   

   Seeing that facebook is such a widely used networking platform and everyone and there dog uses it, could there be anything wrong with it? 

    Below is 4 things worth considering when using facebook.

1.        Although it is convenient to be able to contact your friends by the touch of a button, and super easy to check up on them, does “poking” someone really constitute as saying hello? Maybe sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking we really are concerned with our friends when really we don’t want to spend the time in giving them a phone call or having coffee together.  

   If we are ever going to have a meaningful conversation or relationship sometimes it takes more than just a “poke”.

2.       I wonder if it is healthy to have access to everyone’s pictures of memories or experiences. Can we as “facebookers” abuse this ability? Can we be too concerned or interested in other people’s lives?

3.        Even though we are not talking face to face on facebook can we cross the unseen boundary lines of communication with the opposite sex on facebook? Can we be flirting when we shouldn’t be? Can we be talking more than we should be?  

4.        Some things should be kept private. We have to really consider what we want to communicate to the world. Not every picture, thought or concern should be shared.  In John 7:10 we see that Jesus did some thing’s privately without others. So think before you post…

   As technology ever advances we as Christians are forced to define what is morally acceptable in ways that we have never done before.  Facebook can be a great tool but as Paul said whether we eat or drink let it be to the Glory of God. So in the same way whether we facebook or whether we don’t let it be to the Glory of God.

Esterlyn "Call Out"

  Esterlyn is a great band I found a while back. I have played their album in the youth room before and when I do I always get good feed back on them. 

  They just recently released a new album and from what I have heard it is great! It is more of a worship album (which I love). The great thing is they were not trying to copy anyone but stayed true to their melodic style, and it Worked! 

   If you want to read more about the album click the link bellow bellow. It is a review done by Jesusfreakhideout.com. jesusfreakhideout.com

Faith is No-thing

 

On Faith, denouncing the anthropological view of faith, as constructed by man for his own glory and reviving the biblical model of faith that relies on God and gives Him the glory.

10 Commandments & the Law

  As all who attend our church know we have spent some time focusing on the 10 Commandments and how they are relevant to our lives. So it follows that this video is extremely appropriate for our church right now. I love the conclusion Pastor Piper draws from what relevance the 10 Commandments has for men and woman who are now under grace instead of the law. Enjoy.

From the Heart of Spurgeon. A Daily Devotional.

 "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?" Romans 8:33

   Most blessed challenge! How unanswerable it is! Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, and by the atonement carried away. There is no sin in God's book against His people: He seeth no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ for ever!
