Nope.  One is more than enough.  It's my opinion that Christians need to be very discerning with how much time they spend online at all.  Facepalm, Tweetering, MyFace, Instagram, Pinterest, forums, etc.,  They're all traps and distractions that steal time away from Jesus.  Combine that with hearing people say they "don't have time," and that's the evidence of their priorities.

FB can be an amazing tool if you use it wisely,  as twitter.

 

Even George uses both.  

You would be surprised how many members come to Worthy through theses tools. 

 

 

It could be said that the cookery forum can be a distraction or a trap ,  just saying. 

 

Like everything, It's all about how we use it  :thumbsup:

 

Dont be so quick to condemn them.   :)

 

We live in a world that communicates in a different way , use it to witness.

 

Forty years ago , we would not be having this conversation.

I think you're reading into my post a sentiment that isn't there.  I said Christians should be discerning with how much time they spend on these social medias.  And there is a difference between using them for ministry purposes and social purposes.  I addressed them in the social context given in this thread and didn't condemn them, but addressed the amount of time that many people spend on them compared to how much time we spend with Jesus.  It's a valid point.  When most people are truthful about the amount of time they spend socially on social media, and then compare that to the amount of time they spend with Jesus, it's clear they become traps and distractions and steal time away from Jesus.

 

As for my posts in the Recipe forum, there's nothing wrong with that.  As I said, the only social media I participate in is Worthy.  Very humbly, for illustrative purposes only, I'll explain that I spent less than an hour a day on Worthy.  A little more if I join in in the chat room.  But, I also give God more of my time than I spend online.  My intent here isn't to boast in saying this or infer that I'm better than anyone else.  It's only to illustrate my point.

Yes, a  few other Christian forums with less traffic than Worthy. I post far less than in the past, because I was so into these types of forums and ended up getting banned because most are not all that Christian, ya know? It wasn't healthy. Facebook is always on for me, also.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
