Asiakkaiden post Jessica Barefield
Aloitan antamalla vastuuvapauslauseke. Tämä artikkeli ei ole siitä, miten paha sosiaalinen media on. Käytetään kohtuullisesti, jossa sydämen oikean asennon, se voi olla hieno asia. Kohta tämän artikkelin on osoittaa joitakin tapoja, että sosiaalinen media voi olla sudenkuoppa kristillisen elämän ja rohkaista teitä tutkimaan sydämesi kun se tulee sosiaalisen median kulutusta ja osallistumista. Nämä ovat viisi tapaa, että sosiaalinen media voi syöttää syntisen haluja.
1. Sosiaalinen media voi tuhlata aikaa
Tämä ei ole mitään emme ole ennen kuullut, mutta se kannattaa toistaa. Olemme muistutetaan Ef 5:16-17 että aika on paha, ja meidän pitäisi tehdä parhaiten hyödyntää aikaa antanut meille. Mieti hetki, mitä te voisi tehdä sijasta tarkistaa kaikkien sivustojen. Odotellessa tapaaminen, voisimme pitää listaa ihmiset rukoilemaan meidän puhelimen ja viettää niitä ylimääräisiä minuuttia rukouksessa meidän perheen ja ystävien. Varmasti, kerralla tai toisella, olemme kaikki syyllisiä tuntikausia Facebookissa päivässä ja koskaan avaamista Jumalan Sanaa. Koska jokainen hetki on lahja Herralta, se kannattaa kysyä itseltäsi, "Onko jotain järkevämpää, että voisin viettää aikaani?" Suurimman osan ajasta, vastaus on luultavasti kyllä.
2. Sosiaalinen media antaa alusta teidän jokaisen ajatuksen
Uskon, solidaarisuutta lähettämistä sosiaalisessa mediassa voi huijata luulemaan se on OK lähettää melkein mitä tahansa. me valittaa, me nimettömänä bash ihmistä, me epäkunnioitusta ihmisiä viranomaisen, ja sanomme mitä ajattelemme kuuluisuuksia, ikään kuin ne eivät olleet todellisia ihmisiä. Ja uskomme emme oikeastaan tarvitse vastata mitään siitä. Älä mene lankaan, jonka omassa huoneessasi juuri nyt-ei jää mitään yksityisiä kun seisomme elävän Jumalan ja antaa tilin sanamme. Matthew varoittaa meitä melko selvästi, "Päivänä tuomion, ihmiset antavat tili jokaisesta huolimaton sana he puhuvat. "Olkaamme muistutetaan tästä varoitus seuraavan kerran päivittää tila.
3. Social media can fuel discontentment
Kun käytämme pitkäksi aikaa kaatamalla mitä muut tekevät ja sanovat, se kiinnittää huomiomme kaikki asiat meillä ei ole tai ne puuttuvat ulos. Se voi saada meidät kyseenalaistamaan miksi elämämme eivät näytä samalta. Miksi en ajattele että lainaus? Toivoisin hänen tyylitajua. Heidän uusi talo on tapa suurempi kuin meidän! Jos emme ole varovaisia, kolmekymmentä minuuttia Facebookissa tai Pinterest voi jättää olo tuottamatonta, epämieluisa, ja underwhelmed oman elämän. Hebrews kehottaa meitä, "Pidä elämää ilman rahanhimosta, ja olla tyytyväinen siihen, mitä olet, sillä Hän on sanonut, 'En koskaan jätä sinua eikä hylkää teitä. "" Voimme lopulta olla tyytyväisiä elämäämme uskovina koska olemme antanut kaikki mitä tarvitsemme Kristuksessa. Kysy itseltäsi, onko sosiaalisen median käyttöä auttaa uskot tämän totuus.
4. Social media can fuel pride and keep you inwardly focused
Sosiaalinen media voi nopeasti tulla oman palkintopallille profiloitumisesta. We have to ask ourselves what our motivation really is for posting the things that we do. Etsimme myötätuntoa tai kehuja? Haluammeko olla harkittu tai kehuskelevat hauskoja asioita olemme tehneet? Oletteko jatkuvasti tarkistaa, kuinka monta "tykkää" tai "retweets" viestisi sai? Kaikki nämä asiat polttoaineena ylpeyttä ja pitää meidät keskityttiin itse. Tämä voi olla erityisen vaikea sudenkuoppa kuka tahansa alustalle, joka ulottuu niiden ystävien ja perheen. Whether you do music or have a popular blog, vain koska tuhannet ihmiset kuuntelevat ei tarkoita kaikkea, joka tulee mieleen kannattaa sanomalla. On muistettava, että retweets, kommentit, ja tykkää eivät automaattisesti anna oikeutusta, mitä me post. Jumala näkee motivaatio sydämemme ja ei koskaan lankaan taitavasti post. Kuten olen Samuel 2:3 varoittaa, "Älä vatvoa niin ylpeänä tai anna suusi puhumaan moista ylimielisyyttä, sillä Herra on Jumala, joka tietää ja Hänen teot punnitaan. "
5. Social media can distort our view of relationships
Jokaista hyötyä sosiaalisen median on jo suhteita, haittana on. On helppo pysyä itse rakastat (ehkä liian helppoa?). Onko sinulla vielä syvä, mielekkäitä keskusteluja henkilökohtaisesti? It is easy to keep up with a lot of people you love—and a lot of people you don’t even know (ehkä liikaa?). Oletko oversaturated kanssa yksityiskohtia 300 ihmisten elämässä, jotka et tee hyvää työtä rakastava 10 ihmiset näet viikosta? Voimme nopeasti kouluttaa itseämme kuluttajille tietoa sijasta ystäville ihmisiä. Tietämättä jonkun elämän ja jakaa kaiken oman elämän kautta sosiaalinen media ei ole sama asia kuin todellinen ystävä. Tietenkin Jeesus on täydellinen esimerkki siitä, mitä merkitsee olla todellinen ystävä. Kuten Jeesus opettaa, "Minun komento on tämä: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, että hän antaa henkensä ystäviensä. "Ystävyys on enemmän kuin summa tilapäivitykset ja kuvia. Ystävyys on uhri. Se laakeri toistensa kuormia. Se ei ole vain virtuaalista-se on konkreettinen.

This is so true. I will openly admit that I waste hours and hours of my time and days on social media and all the points brought forward, I can directly relate to. I know in my mind and heart that I want to and have to cut it out, or greatly diminish it, but it isn’t easy. But the message you have conveyed and the words of God that you’re using to reinforce this speak to me clearly. Thank you for this article :)
Hieno postaus! Really made me think and consider my social media usage!
Very good read! Was never involved in social networks until a little over a year ago and these are some of the reasons why. I have actually been thinking about deleting my social networks to focus on what needs to be focused on. Lot of good points here. Thank you for taking your time to write it and share.
Vau! So true. I definitely need to work on my social media intake. It’s very consuming one of the very reasons I stopped getting on Pinterest. Kiitoksia jakamisesta.
Nothing short of blessed
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been fighting with myself about getting on Facebook. Seems lately all it does is make mad angry. This was everything I needed to hear and will reread when I need to be reminded. Thank you and Trip. Jumalan siunausta.
Mahtava!
You are an inspiration! So many good points you have here. Praise God for your wisdom that’s understandable and very relevant to our generation! :)
I have been cut to heart by this powerful sharing. I believe we are all found wanting in this area. Thanks Trip and Jessica. May God continue to use you .
Hyvin sanottu! I’ve had some of these same thoughts about social media over the past fee years. Keep writing!
Caleb
I love this!!!! So so true and I wish more people understood these points!
you’re really inspiration to this generation. Hyvin sanottu!!!
Thank you so much Jessica for these words that are so true and conviction given. May God continue to use you and you household :-)
Thank you for this enlightening post! This should prompt us to fix our eyes on Jesus and less on others and self.
Blessings!
Mahtava…. Glory to God alone….
Kiitos paljon, for the “little people” with out a voice it speaks numbers to think our “social” value is derived from social media. Thanks for the wake up call !
Tarvitsin tätä!!
That is so true. We waste precious time on social networks without purpose, and whenever purpose is not on ground, abuse is inevitable. I myself i’m guilty of this at times; but i pray for the grace to redirect my priorities.
This is a really good post. Thank you for sharing it with us, enjoyed reading it and it opening my eyes to the pitfalls of social media. :) armo & rauha.
Exactly why I PERMANENTLY deleted my Fakebook in early 2012. Just like how I gave up cable TV in 2001, I don’t miss either Fakebook or TV. FB makes it easy to love yourself, which is idolatry. Being on the computer for work (video editing) is all the more reason why I do not want to spend time on it in my free time, but it is so easy to waste time on the computer. If I’m on YouTube, it’s to watch edifying videos from other Christians. I HIGHLY recommend every Christian to read this article: “Forming our Souls with Facebook” by Shane Hipps (Second Nature Journal dot com)
Very thought provoking!
Vau, great post, I am really blessed.
Omg I was so convicted last week by exactly what you said …spending hours on facebook that should be spending in the word! I love this blog…keep the knowledge coming!
I like your balanced position; not completely condemning social media, yet pointing out the issues/tendency for sinfulness. Reminds me of iLove.
Good points..thanks for sharing I needed it .
Kiitoksia jakamisesta! Excellent reminders of how we should caution ourselves when it comes to social media.
Thank you Jessica for this article & thank you Trip for posting on fb so I could see it & come to the blog to read it.
Great write up! Thought provoking for sure…note to self!
Vau! This is amazing! Every point hit me and I really needed to hear it. Kiitos paljon. Jumalan siunausta!
Kiitos niin paljon tätä kirjoitettaessa. It is so very insightful and has helped me a lot in recognizing that I need to limit my time with social media. Many of the things you’ve described are all things I can relate to. Spending too much time on social media is not beneficial for my spirit your blog has really put it in words for me. Again thanks so much
Spot on with number 4 for me. One to watch – thanks
Thanks for writing this article; this article was edifying.
God bless you for sharing this. I need to be pure and thoughtful in whatever I do online/offline. Armo ja rauha
Loistava artikkeli! Well articulated and balanced. Thanks for sharing
Guilty as charged on all 5 points…Kiitos tästä.
This article caught my eye quick because my job is online and a big part of it is social media. Before this was my job I could completely relate to this. It really can be a time waster if there is no self control. It should be something approached with caution for sure!
I saw this link on my Facebook and was dreading to read it because I knew it would convict me and today I said, “kunnossa… Let me have it.” LOL. Just about everything in here is true about how I spend my time online and I am going to assume that the person who wrote this article would not have posted this if she had not struggled with this herself in some way. So it is nice to know that there are other people who carry or did carry the same burden. At church you tend to feel like you shouldn’t admit to stuff like this, because we have created the idea that no one else struggles with it. Just the other day I was talking to my husband and telling him how I deleted some apps on my ipod (yes I still have an ipod and not an iphone, by choice) because it created unhealthy/ungodly thinking. I use to play Home Design where you can create your dream home and in turn I would become so depressed with the house we live in. I still love playing Mall World on FB and confessed to my husband that I like it because my avatar is someone I am not, she is pretty, skinny, independant and it is fantasy that I enjoy living through. Maybe I sound weird or people may think I shared too much but this is my own conviction. Thank you for reinforcing what I know by sharing your own conviction with us writer and other commenters.
I will be deleting my Facebook and Instagram for a while. This was my wake up call. My husbands has been telling me about this and the discontentment has gone too far! Thank you Jessica!
lol this is so true.. fortunately, i’ve removed my social networking account about 3 vuosia sitten :D
Great Post!
That’s real! Got me thinkin!
Kiitos! I’m gonna take a week long break from Facebook, Sähköposti, and Instagram and work on those relationships I have with people I see in my daily life.
Fantastic stuff! I’m a high school student and the part about putting so much stock into retweets and likes is so true! I definitely think their are some good things that can come out of Twitter/Facebook but it’s all about where you heart is!

Really good post! Social media can be a little too much but when I see souls reach and they are planted into a church with their families and serving in church and in their community with the families.. That’s amazing to me.
Vau. This really spoke to me and I appreciate it. It’s so well articulated and has some great advice on ways to reflect. Kiitos!
Thank you for posting this! I’m so glad God led me to your blog today because I definitely needed to read this!
I love coming to this blog and reading all of these awesome posts by Trip and his wife. Keep up the good work you two!!! Jumalan siunausta.
Vau
this just gave me more insight that i thought i had
Trip and his family are pure blessings.
That happens sometimes doesn’t it ????
lolz !!!
That is sooooo true it can take time away from god also you won’t seem to have the time 4 him we’ll cut it off make the time
awesome read. admittedly, i spend too much time looking at pretty boys and pretty things and getting caught up by all these superficial things on tumblr that i tend to push God aside. it’s a sad, sad thing; i could be reading up on His word and spending more time with Him….thanks for the eye opener!
Vau. I thought I was doing good because I was just on two networks. This definitely helped me check myself. I thought because I wasn’t sinning I was okay, and of course there is always room for improvement.
God bless you for sharing this and thank you! This post just got me thinking about the time I waste with social media and its networks. It has helped me to re-think what I’m doing with time.
I agree with every point. I for sure have been avoiding instagram because I found myself comparing my self to other girls on there. It’s not good to feel ungrateful. I like looking at cute animals. LOL
I considered deleting my fb, instagram accounts numerous times. I do think it’s good for keeping up with family members far apart though. :)
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Kiitos!
