In this episode we discuss...our five points on the rural pastor and social media!CAVEAT: social media can be a blessing to disseminate a biblical, God glorifying message. We obviously use different platforms for the podcast, but we caution why, how, and when they are used.Social Media can be a CESSPOOL.1 Thessalonians 3:11-13It seems as if we have enough trouble working on personal holiness and living blameless lives in the real world! Why launch yourself blindly into a world with far more opportunities for sin and far fewer natural and logical consequences. Social Media can be a PEEP SHOW.1 Thessalonians 4:3-8Not only for highly charged sexual immorality.It seems like everybody has an agenda and is highly trained at getting clicks. Why do you want to dive into someplace where so many people are rewarded specifically for getting you to react?Social Media can be more of a CAGE MATCH.1 Thessalonians 4:9-10It provides horrible context for brotherly love.Social media can be worse than the sin the CROUCHES AT YOUR DOOR.1 Thessalonians 4:11It’s in your pocket! It can be a great temptation against living quietly and minding our own affairs.Social media can be a MAGNIFYING GLASS.1 Thessalonians 4:12You better watch every step if you are going to walk properly before outsiders, because they are watching you!
