In the age of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, how can the Bible guide our use of social media? Denver Institute founder Jeff Haanen shares insight in this brief video essay.
As you watch ask yourself:
- How does your use of social media feed "The Big Me"? Does your online engagement foster a "broadcasting personality"?
- Jeff quotes Eugene Peterson who writes, "Technology makes us think we can do far more than we actually can. Because there are constantly more opportunities to learn, to go, and to do." How could creating a rest, or Sabbath, from social media deepen your spiritual life?
- Who does your presence on social media benefit? Do your posts, tweets, or status updates advance your own interests or do they serve others?
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this issue! Leave a comment describing the principles you use to guide your engagement online.
