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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like everything, It's all about how we use it Dont be so quick to condemn them. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
