Socially AcceptableWhat does the Bible say about Social Media?
#instacurityThere's no worse feeling than when a comment on your FB status
by SOMEONE ELSE gets more likes than YOUR actual status... :-/
Going through your Twitter timeline and deleting any tweets that
never got a retweet or reply...
Sometimes I do things JUST to Instagram it.
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT ON MY INSTAGRAM PHOTO,
BUT THEY DON'T DOUBLE TAP!!!
If you can look good without a filter, imagine what you can look like
WITH a filter!
Retweeted too much. Now I need to think of an original tweet to
show that I'm witty as well. UGH.
Disclaimers:
1) I am NOT going to tell you
OR YOUR PARENTS that
you should delete your
accounts.
2) I am also not going to tell
you you NEED to have an
account.
Social media can be used for
good or evilJust like everything else
1 Timothy 1:8 -
We know that the law is good when used
correctly.
Social media can be used for good or evil
1 Corinthians 10:23-24, 31-32
You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but
not everything is good for you. You say, “I am
allowed to do anything”—but not everything is
beneficial. Don’t be concerned for your own
good but for the good of others.

Social media can be used for good or evil
1 Corinthians 10:23-24, 31-32
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you
do, do it all for the glory of God. Don’t give
o!ense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of
God.
Use it for
GOOD!
Be full of JOY!Ecclesiastes 3:4
A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve
and a time to dance.
John 10:10
My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying
life
James 1:17
Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us
from God our Father.
So, if social media can be good or
bad, how do I honor God online?
Forwards?

So, if social media can be good or
bad, how do I honor God online?
Be Holy
1 Peter 1:15 - But
now you must be holy
in EVERYTHING YOU
DO, just as God who
chose you is holy.
So, if social media can be good or
bad, how do I honor God online?
Social Media reflects who
you are...
Who are you reflecting?
Colossians 3:17 - And
whatever you do or
say, do it as a
representative of The
Lord Jesus, giving
thanks through Him to
God the Father
So, if social media can be good or
bad, how do I honor God online?
Guard your tongues:
Ephesians 4:29 -
Don't use foul or
abusive language. Let
everything you say be
good and helpful, so
that your words will be
an encouragement to
those who hear them.
So, if social media can be good or
bad, how do I honor God online?
Be careful of what you
do, say and post online
Matthew 10:16 -
Look, I am sending
you out as sheep
among wolves, so be
as shrewd as snakes
and harmless as
doves
A quick example. Snapchat.There is no such thing as online privacy, only perceived
privacy!
Snapchat was built as a tool to get girls to send
inappropriate pictures so that the creators could keep them.!
!
“Sharing of information: With vendors, consultants and
other service providers who need access to such
information to carry out work on our behalf;!
In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger,
sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a
portion of our business to another company;”
A quick example. Snapchat.There is no such thing as online privacy, only perceived privacy !
!
They keep ALL of your pictures AND they are required by law
to do so.!
" Detect, investigate and/or prevent fraudulent, unauthorized
or illegal activity; and!
" Carry out any other purpose for which the information was
collected.!
!
What does that mean? That means your “private pictures” are
ultimately for sale. And you’ve given them permission to sell
them.

Final thought:
If we are aware of what we are agreeing to and acting
in accordance with scripture we really have nothing to
worry about.
Ask agin, what are you representing?
Matthew 10:16 - Look, I am sending you out as sheep
among wolves, so be as shrewd as snakes and
harmless as doves
