Viesu pastu no Jessica Barefield
Ļaujiet man sākt, sniedzot atruna. Šis raksts nav par to, cik ļauns sociālo mediju ir. Lietots ar mēru, ar pareizo sirds poza, tas var būt brīnišķīgs lieta. Šī raksta mērķis ir norādīt dažus veidus, ka sociālie mediji var būt lamatas par kristīgās dzīves un aicinām jūs pārbaudīt savas sirds, kad runa ir par jūsu sociālo mediju patēriņu un līdzdalību. Tie ir pieci veidi, ka sociālie mediji var pabarotu mūsu grēcīgās vēlmes.
1. Sociālie mediji var jātērē savs laiks
Tas nav nekas, mēs neesam dzirdējuši iepriekš, bet tas ir vērts atkārtot. Mums tiek atgādināts Efeziešiem 5:16-17 ka šīs dienas ir ļaunas un mums būtu labāk izmantot laiku, ko mums. Apsveriet uz brīdi, ko jūs varētu darīt, nevis pārbaudīt visus šos portālus. Gaidot pie iecelšanu, mēs varētu saglabāt sarakstu ar cilvēkiem, lai lūgtos par mūsu telefonu un pavadīt šos papildu minūtes lūgšanā par mūsu ģimeni un draugiem. noteikti, vienā reizē vai citu, mēs visi esam vainīgi izdevumu stundas par Facebook dienā un nekad atverot Dieva Vārdu. Tā ik brīdi ir dāvana no Kunga, tas ir vērts uzdot sev, "Vai ir kaut kas vairāk vērts, ka es varētu tērēt savu laiku uz?"Lielākā daļa no laika, atbilde ir iespējams, jā.
2. Sociālo mediju dod platformu katru tavu domu
Es domāju, ka solidaritāte norīkošanu par sociālo mediju var triks jūs vērā domāšana tas ir OK, lai pēc gandrīz jebko. mēs sūdzēties, mēs anonīmi bash cilvēkus, mēs necieņu cilvēkus iestādes, un mēs sakām visu, ko mēs domājam par slavenībām, kā tad, ja tie nav reāli cilvēki. Un mēs uzskatām, ka mums nav īsti ir jāatbild par kādu no tā. Neļaujiet sevi apmānīt ar privātumu jūsu istabu tieši tagad, nebūs nekā privāta, kad mēs stāvēsim dzīvo Dievu un sniegt pārskatu par saviem vārdiem. Matthew brīdina mūs diezgan nepārprotami, "Par tiesas dienā, cilvēki dos kontu par katru nevajadzīgu vārdu, viņi runā. "Ļaujiet mums atgādinās par šo brīdinājumu nākamo reizi mēs atjaunināt savu statusu.
3. Social media can fuel discontentment
Kad mēs pavadīt ilgāku laiku lejot pār to, ko citi dara un saka,, tā vērš mūsu uzmanību uz visām lietām, kas mums nav, vai ir izlaižot par. Tas var izraisīt mums uzdot jautājumu, kāpēc mūsu dzīvi neizskatās vienādi. Kāpēc nav es domāju par šo citātu? Es vēlos man bija viņas stila izjūtu. Savu jauno māju ir daudz lielāks nekā mūsējais! Ja mēs nebūsim uzmanīgi, trīsdesmit minūtes, Facebook vai Pinterest var atstāt jūs sajūta neproduktīvs, nepievilcīgs, un underwhelmed ar savu dzīvi. Ebrejiem pamāca mūs, "Turiet savu dzīvi bez mantkārības, un būt apmierināti ar to, kas jums ir, jo Viņš ir teicis, "Es nekad atstāt tevi nepametīšu." "Mēs galu galā var būt apmierināti ar mūsu dzīvi, kā ticīgajiem, jo mums ir dota visu, kas mums ir nepieciešams Kristū. Pavaicājiet sev, vai jūsu izmantošana sociālo mediju palīdz jums šķiet, ka šo patiesību.
4. Social media can fuel pride and keep you inwardly focused
Sociālie mediji var ātri kļūt par mūsu pašu pjedestāla par pašreklāmai. We have to ask ourselves what our motivation really is for posting the things that we do. Vai mēs meklējam simpātijas vai slavēt? Vai mēs gribam būt labi doma vai lielīties par fun lietas, mēs esam bijuši dara? Vai jūs pastāvīgi pārbaudīt, cik daudz "patīk" vai "retweets" savu post got? Visas šīs lietas degvielas lepnumu un turēt mūs vērsta uz sevi. Tas var būt īpaši grūti pitfall ikvienam, kas ir platforma, kas sniedzas ārpus saviem draugiem un ģimeni. Whether you do music or have a popular blog, tikai tāpēc, ka tūkstošiem cilvēku klausās nenozīmē visu, kas nāk prātā, ir vērts sakot. Mums jāatceras, ka retweets, komentāri, un patīk nav automātiski piešķir likumību, ko mēs post. Dievs redz motivāciju mūsu sirdīs un nekad sevi apmānīt ar labi izstrādāts pastu. Kā es Samuel 2:3 brīdina, "Neturiet runāt tik lepni vai ļaujiet jūsu muti runā šādu augstprātību, lai Kungs ir Dievs, kurš zina un viņam darbi nosver. "
5. Social media can distort our view of relationships
Par katru labumu sociālo mediju ir par attiecībām, tur ir trūkums. Tas ir viegli sekot līdzi tiem, jūs mīlestību (varbūt pārāk viegli?). Vai jums vēl joprojām ir dziļi, jēgpilnas sarunas personīgi? It is easy to keep up with a lot of people you love—and a lot of people you don’t even know (varbūt pārāk daudz?). Vai jūs pārsātināta ar informāciju par 300 cilvēku dzīvi, ka jūs neesat dara labu darbu mīlošs 10 cilvēki, jūs redzēt katru nedēļu? Mēs varam ātri apmācīt sevi būt patērētājiem informāciju, nevis mīļotājiem cilvēku. Zinot par kāds dzīvē un dalīties visu par savu dzīvi, izmantojot sociālo mediju, nav tas pats kā īsts draugs. Protams Jēzus ir perfekts piemērs tam, ko nozīmē būt patiess draugs. Kā Jēzus māca, "Mana komanda ir šis: Love each other as I have loved you. Nevienam nav lielākas mīlestības viens, nekā tas, ka viņš atdod savu dzīvību par saviem draugiem. "Draudzība ir vairāk nekā summa statusa atjauninājumus un attēlus. Draudzība ir upuris. Tas gultnis viens otra slogus. Tas ir ne tikai virtuāls, tai jābūt taustāms.

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. Paldies par šo rakstu :)
Lieliska ziņa! 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.
pārsteigt! 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. Paldies, ka dalījies.
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. Dievs svētī.
Satriecošs!
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 .
Labi teikts! I’ve had some of these same thoughts about social media over the past fee years. Keep writing!
Kalebs
ES mīlu šo!!!! So so true and I wish more people understood these points!
you’re really inspiration to this generation. Labi teikts!!!
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.
svētības!
Satriecošs…. Glory to God alone….
Liels tev paldies, 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 !
I needed this!!
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. :) grācija & miers.
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!
pārsteigt, 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 .
Paldies, ka dalījies! 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!
pārsteigt! Tas ir pārsteidzošs! Every point hit me and I really needed to hear it. Liels tev paldies. Dievs svētī!
Thank you so much rakstot šo. 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 prieks manis. 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. Žēlastība un miers
awesome raksts! Well articulated and balanced. Paldies par dalīšanos
Guilty as charged on all 5 points…Paldies par to.
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, “Labi… 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! Paldies Jessica!
lol this is so true.. fortunately, i’ve removed my social networking account about 3 gadiem :D
Great Post!
That’s real! Got me thinkin!
Paldies! I’m gonna take a week long break from Facebook, E-pasts, 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.
pārsteigt. This really spoke to me and I appreciate it. It’s so well articulated and has some great advice on ways to reflect. Paldies!
Paldies par norīkošanu šo! 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!!! Dievs svētī.
pārsteigt
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!
pārsteigt. 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. :)
lielisks blogs! 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? Paldies!
