Here's the church's calendar for #LightTheWorld
Here's a relevant drawing from "Uday.G.Mohite: Illustrations."
I have mixed emotions about this because I enjoyed some of the #givethanks posts. But some of the encouragement in the calendar to post on social media is troubling. Look at the 1st and 6th, for example. Matthew chapter 6 comes to mind.
This is a marketing campaign for the church. Which is great if you think the church is great. But let's be clear: this is a marketing campaign for the church.
The best thing the church has done for their members with regard to social media is encourage a 1-week fast. My wife and I do that from time to time and it's very soothing for the mind.
I've actually thought the same. It appears to be a sneaky way to promote the church. Its a public promotion of look how good we are. Or maybe thats just my pessimist side
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call an official hashtag "sneaky." It's just a marketing campaign. Like I said, if you think the church is great, then this is great. People doing good AND marketing for the church! Win-win! It's just... not what the scriptures teach.
DeleteW O W. More than half of them have a “share online” component.
ReplyDeleteLet your right hand do what your left hand posteth.
