Some Things You Should Stop Doing On Social Media

These are few things I have seen on social media that makes me wonder if we are responsible?

These are some of the things to consider if you are a responsible being and use social media often. I say everything in love and with the intention of helping all of us representing His name well.

1. Stop posting inappropriate things.

As a responsible person, we represent our names and God. The Bible calls us ambassadors. With that in mind, shouldn’t we want to represent Him well?

I get so sad when I scroll through Facebook, Instagram and twitter, and see a lot of the things people are posting. For example, lots of young people are posting Naked to Half Naked pictures of themselves, sometimes less than half naked. Others are posting, reposting and tweeting sexual memes and gifs with vulgar images and expressions.

When we post things like this and then in our bios we claim to be a responsible person with dignity, it sends a mixed feelings and messages and distorts what it means to be who we claim to be

Now, obviously I know none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes. Having said that, we still need to behave well. I challenge you to watch what you post on social media. The world is watching.

2. Stop arguing on social media.

There are times when we need to debate the Truth. Paul the Apostle passionately debated truth. Having said that, that doesn’t mean we should get drug into every argument we are invited into.

Use wisdom, and know when to speak and when not to speak. Know when to debate and know when not to debate. I am not saying to stop standing for the truth; we should always stand for the truth!

Even, as Christians we should be known for our love and what we stand for, not just what we stand against. When times arise that we need to debate, we should debate with love and patience, not out of anger. There are obviously exceptions, but debates are better when they are personal and done in love. The whole point of a debate is not to be right, it is to reveal the love and truth. Unfortunately, most debates that take place on social media are done in the wrong way.

When you debate, debate constructively and not destructively. Use your debate to reveal the truth about a matter and not using it to shadow the truth. Atimes, when you debate and offend other people, learn to say sorry for we disagree to agree.

3.) Do not threaten your fellow human being

Some people in the name of argument go personal, threatening themselves. Always ask question to get clear of a point so that you will not misunderstand the other party

4.) Stop using abusive words
Some people are aggressive in nature and hot tempered. They react to every single opinion or view that is against their own. Don't get angry in your talk on social media for you may not know the type of person at the other end. Come to think of it you are chatting with your parent or your benefactor and you unleash your anger and start cursing. How will you feel if you later know that he is your father.

The lists are many. These are just few out of many.

Think about it and act rightly.

God Bless You
