What are you posting?

by Debi Baker

I posted this on my Facebook page earlier this week. It's still weighing heavy on my heart, so I thought I'd share with you!

I'm having a little bit of a hard time. I see so many people on Facebook who proclaim to be a Christian and yet their posts are mean and hateful. Some even border on bullying!

Matthew 4:4 says, "44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

If we proclaim that we are a Christian, a Christ follower, and we spend our time bashing people all over Facebook, we aren't following the instructions given to us in God's word! 1 John 2:4 tells us that..."If someone claims, 'I know God,' but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth."

This tells me that claiming to be a Christian but not obeying God's commandments makes you are a liar! I challenge you to T.H.I.N.K. before you post...

     T - is it True (not hearsay, not an opinion, but factual!)?

     H - is it Helpful?

      I - is it Inspiring?

     N - is it Necessary?

     K - is it Kind?
