Dear Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Part [6] 11/15/2023 (Evening thought)

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Thus, social media does have its place; but the new tendency to sit at home in the comfort of one’s bed, snuggling under the covers, and sipping lemonade while Divine hour is going on, was something that a few years ago would have been unthinkable. And as a direct result, even though we seem to be more electronically connected, yet many persons are becoming more-lonely.

And a deep chasm, void of that personal touch has developed, to the point where A.I generated girlfriends are wreaking havoc on the male psyche, since persons could now order their very own tailormade A.I girl to suit their fancy. Social media platforms have taken the lead in the work of transforming relationships and friendships to the electronic and digital, so that, a very heavy responsibility now rests upon their shoulders to try and mitigate some of the inevitable fallout that the principles of our democracy and freedoms afford, as it pertains to social media.

 As was stated previously, very daunting challenges are now facing social media companies like TikTok, Facebook, and X, formerly Twitter, in that they are finding themselves responsible for the publishing of content, some good, some evil, and in this, we can surely refer to our first passage which says: Behold I set before you this day a blessing and a curse.

Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Dear Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Part [5] 11/14/2023 (Morning thought)

Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

Not long ago, doing church via zoom would have been unthinkable, for no one would have thought that the physical in-person ambience of praise and prayer would have been be replaced by the distant forms of worship that social media platforms now afford. With the exception of persons who are physically unable, it boggles the mind, how individuals, and churches, can do communion via Zoom, a concept that would have made the early Christians recoil in amazement.

Back then in the early days of Christianity, personal fellowship, in breaking bread from house to house, and gospel ministry on a personal level were the lifeblood of the church, and the results are there before us. But lo and behold, social media inventions allow the churches to provide services at a distance, so that the physical presence and interaction which in times past had characterized the fellowship of believers, is now replaced in many instances with a distant form of interconnection, and one of the reasons why it has taken deep root is that it appeals to our comfort zone.

This is not to say that social media does not play a vital role in getting the truth out to remote places. It does, for without these facilities, in places upon the earth where the true Gospel cannot be preached in person, individuals can now go on line and access a plethora of presentations from various missionaries, preachers, and televangelists.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
