Гост порука од Јессица Барефиелд
Почећу тако што одрицање. Овај чланак није о томе како зло друштвени медији. Користи се у умерено, са десног срца положају, то може бити дивна ствар. Суштина овог чланка је да укаже на неке начине да друштвени медији могу бити замку за хришћански живот и да вас подстакне да испитају своје срце када је у питању ваша потрошње друштвених медија и учешће. Ово су пет начина да друштвени медији могу хранити наше грешне жеље.
1. Друштвени медији могу да губите време
Ово није ништа нисмо чули раније, али вреди понављања. Ми смо подсетио у Ефесцима 5:16-17 да су дани зли и требало би да се на најбољи начин време које смо добили. Размислите на тренутак шта би могао радити уместо провере све оне сајтове. Док се чека на састанак, можемо водити списак људи да се моле за на наш телефон и провести те додатних минута у молитви за нашу породицу и пријатеље. Сигурно, у једном или другом тренутку, сви смо криви за проводите сате на Фацебоок-у дан и никада отвара Реч Божију. Пошто сваком тренутку је поклон од Бога, то је запитати се, "Да ли постоји нешто вредније да сам могао да трошим време на?" Већину времена, Одговор је вероватно да.
2. Социал медиа даје платформу за сваку Вашу мисли
Мислим да је солидарност постављање на друштвеним медијима могу да те превари да мисли да је у реду да поставите било шта. mi се жале, ми анонимно басх људи, ми не постујес људе у власти, и кажемо све што мислимо о личности, као да нису били прави људи. И верујемо да заиста не морају да одговарају за било који од тога. Немојте да вас завара приватности своју собу одмах-неће бити ништа приватно кад стојимо пред живим Богом и дати налог за наше речи. Матеј нас упозорава прилично отворено, "На судњем дану, људи ће дати налог за сваку неопрезне речи говоре. "Сјетимо се овог упозорења следећи пут смо ажурирати свој статус.
3. Social media can fuel discontentment
Када проводимо продужено време сипања у шта други раде и говоре, скреће пажњу на све оно што немамо или пропуштате. може да нас проузроковати питање зашто су наши животи не изгледају исто. Зашто се нисам сетио тог цитатом? Волео бих имала осећај за стил. Њихова нова кућа је много већа од наше! Ако не будемо водили рачуна, тридесет минута на Фацебооку или Пинтерест може оставити осећаш непродуктивно, непривлачан, и Ундервхелмед са својим животом. Јеврејима нас упозорава, "Задржи свој живот без љубави према новцу, и бити задовољни оним што имате, јер Он је рекао, "Ја никада неће оставити ни напустити." Ми на крају могу бити задовољни нашим животима, као верници, јер нам се све што нам је потребно у Христу. Запитајте се да ли ваше коришћење друштвених медија помаже ти све ово истина.
4. Social media can fuel pride and keep you inwardly focused
Друштвени медији могу брзо постати наша подијум за самопромоцију. We have to ask ourselves what our motivation really is for posting the things that we do. Тражимо симпатије или похвале? Да ли желимо да се добром гласу или хвалити интересантних ствари које смо радили? Да ли стално проверавати колико "лајкова" или "ретвеетс" ваш пост има? Све ове ствари гориво понос и држати нас фокусирани на себе. Ово може бити посебно тешко замка за свакога ко има платформу која се протеже изван њихових пријатеља и породице. Whether you do music or have a popular blog, само зато што хиљаде људи слушају не значи све што вам падне на памет вреди говори. Морамо имати на уму да ретвеетс, коментари, и воли аутоматски не дају легитимитет оно што пост. Бог види мотивацију нашим срцима и никада није водјен добро израђен пост. Као што сам Самуел 2:3 упозорења, "Немој да причаш тако поносно или нека ваш уста говоре такве ароганцију, за Господа је Бог који зна и од њега дела су мерене. "
5. Social media can distort our view of relationships
За сваки користи друштвене медије има за односе, постоји недостатак. То је лако држати корак са онима које волите (можда сувише лако?). Да ли још увек дубоко, смислене разговори у лице? It is easy to keep up with a lot of people you love—and a lot of people you don’t even know (Можда превише?). Да ли оптерећено са детаљима 300 животе људи који ти не раде добар посао од љубави према 10 људи које видите недеље у недељу? Можемо брзо тренирати себе да се потрошачи информације уместо љубитељи људи. Знајући за нечији живот и дељење све о свом животу путем друштвених медија није исто што и бити прави пријатељ. Наравно Исус је савршен пример шта значи бити прави пријатељ. Као што је Исус учи, "Моја команда је ово: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, да је живот свој положи за своје пријатеље. "Пријатељство је више од збира ажурирања статуса и слика. Пријатељство је жртва. То је беаринг једни другима терет. То није само виртуелни-то мора бити опипљиви.

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 :)
veliki пост! 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.
вов! 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. Хвала за објављивање.
Nothing short of blessed
Хвала вам толико за постављање ово. 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. Бог благослови.
феноменалан!
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 .
Добро речено! I’ve had some of these same thoughts about social media over the past fee years. Keep writing!
цалеб
ја волим ово!!!! So so true and I wish more people understood these points!
you’re really inspiration to this generation. Добро речено!!!
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!
феноменалан…. Glory to God alone….
Хвала Вам много, 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 !
Требало ми је ово!!
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. :) милост & мир.
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!
вов, 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 .
Хвала за објављивање! 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!
вов! This is amazing! Every point hit me and I really needed to hear it. Хвала Вам много. Бог благослови!
Хвала вам пуно за ово писао. 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. Милост и мир
Awesome article! Well articulated and balanced. Хвала што делите
Guilty as charged on all 5 points…Хвала ти за ово.
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, “Ок… Let me have it.” лол. 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! Тханк иоу Јессица!
lol this is so true.. fortunately, i’ve removed my social networking account about 3 пре много година :Д
Great Post!
That’s real! Got me thinkin!
Хвала вам! I’m gonna take a week long break from Facebook, емаил, 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.
вов. This really spoke to me and I appreciate it. It’s so well articulated and has some great advice on ways to reflect. Хвала вам!
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!!! Бог благослови.
вау
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!
вов. 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? Хвала вам!
