Quick question, but something I've been wondering. Is social media destroying Christianity?
Obviously I don't believe this to mean, Facebook/whatever platform will bring down the Church, but Christianity as a whole is about getting out into the community and being a literal presence amongst people.
With social media, yes our message can reach farther, but is it really about the message or more about the conduct?
1 John 3:17-18
I would say the tendency for some to retreat to their phone/computer to post about God hates sin, or Jesus loves you does little to actually affect change and thus the shift from doing to saying (or really in this case typing) has a detrimental affect on true Christianity.
