TONIGHT's Topic: "Are You Faking On Social Media?"
Each morning, I tweet out three gospel thoughts, plus one on Sunday about the importance of corporate worship. I’ve been doing this for well over a decade now. By God’s grace, my goal is to leverage the global reach and power of social media to comfort people with the life-transforming truths of Jesus Christ.
My team also posts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and LinkedIn. We have been so encouraged by how many of you are being blessed each day by Paul Tripp Ministries on these free platforms.
Of course, there are significant negative ramifications that come from social media use. The research has started to come out, and I’m sure it will get more eye-opening over time. In fact, I recently came off Instagram personally because I was finding it so distracting, unhelpful, and a waste of time.
This evening I want to focus on one biblical principle—identity—and how it applies to our social media use.
We all know that people don’t put their real version of life on social media, which is full of struggles and disappointments. We curate the best, the funniest, and the most attractive version of ourselves for the watching world to like.
Take the parents that plan a day trip for their family, with the hopes of experiencing joy, gratitude, and bonding. But the outing is hardly peaceful. The siblings fight the entire time, and the parents lose their patience and say things they regret.
But at the end of a conflict-filled day that you swear never to do again, the parents snap a family photo with fake, forced smiles and post on Instagram with the caption, “Great day out with the family!”
Social media can be dangerous because it allows us to create a false identity of who we are.
Are you REALLY who you appear to be?
Join us TONIGHT with Steve as we make new connections and start some interesting conversations around the topic of "Are You Faking On Social Media?" Everyone is welcome!
