God's Command and Our Social Media

[Solars Toy]

My sisters (and BFF) are once again read through the Bible in a year.  This year is a chronological reading via The Bible Recap. Today is Exodus 22-24.  One of the articles I came across was this.

God's Command and our Social Media Feeds

Few things have caused more division, more dissension, and more disunity than the "Like" and "Share" buttons on social media. We see a post about a politician we don't like, and our first impulse is to pass it along. We may not know for sure if it's true. We may not care. If it puts the politician in a negative light, it doesn't seem to matter if it is malicious, unkind, untrue, scandalous, libelous, or hurtful. If it makes the person we disagree with or voted against look bad, we gleefully share it.

But for a Christ follower, it should matter. God's Word is crystal clear on the topic. Do not spread a false report. Do not join hands with a wicked person to be a malicious witness. Christian, take note: every time you retweet or share what is specifically intended to malign someone else, you are literally joining hands in order to be a malicious witness.
