Facebook: Ministry or Mania
I decided to delete my Facebook account. The mania had become too much. Facebook was sucking my life away – it was a time waster. The platform was a breeding ground for dissatisfaction and superficial relationships. I was exhausted by the “oversharing” of personal information and the wars waged by friends with differing political ideologies. I wanted to return to the quiet days of reading a book and listening to music. The voice of Facebook had to go.
But, before I could hit the delete button on my social media life, God sent me a reminder. He reminded me that I am to be a light in a dark place. He reminded me through a Facebook private message.

Dear Lyli,
Like the Internet and other social media, Facebook can be used for evil; as a time-waster that distracts us from God’s purpose; or for good! I get frustrated sometimes when I think I’m spending too much time on Facebook, but I try to limit my participation to encouraging others, witnessing, and sharing links to my blog posts. I pray that I will use my time there and in general in accordance with His will.

Laurie, it’s a blessing to get to be God’s hands and feet on Facebook. Technology really opens up doors for the Gospel to reach more and more people. 🙂
