Maybe you have heard it said, “do what’s right, not what’s easy.” As a police officer, I had a Lieutenant that would tell us, “don’t just come to me with a problem, bring me a solution… at the very least options.” For some time now I had heard and read from the people of faith their frustration, and that they’re disgusted with social media. The censorship of our beliefs, the interpretation of our scripture as hate speech, and the moral decay on social media platforms. Christians would threaten to leave and many have left the social media platforms however many continue to support the system. I recently write an article, “Share your faith not your personal data!”
It is very true that social platforms know more about your fellowship, and you than you do yourself. They are tracking everything about you, your friends, family, church family, where you frequent, where you spend your money, and more. They sell your information to marketing companies that pay them top dollar for that information. We know, Integrity Resource Solution is a sister company that provides the financial assets to develop, build, and operate inJesus. Many companies advertising budgets, purchase social media ad space, and spend a lot of money. They make a lot of money with your information. So they censor what you share, censor your faith, your beliefs, your Jesus yet make billions of our information.
“don’t just come to me with a problem, bring me a solution… at the very least options.”
What’s the solution?
Remember, “don’t just come with a problem… bring a solution!” Is simply leaving social media, losing contact with those your love, those you encourage and do ministry with, those as “Iron Sharpens Iron” post daily what the Lord is saying? For me, I have ministry partners around the world in just about every nation. If I leave social media altogether I lose relationships with them. To pray for them, to encourage them, they encourage me. John 10:10, “the thief came to steal, kill, and destroy…” Steal and silence our voice, kill our relationships, destroy our fellowship and the body of Christ.” He loves nothing more than to fragment the church, to stop our communication with one another, and to steal our voice.
After acquiring inJesus in June of this year we went into prayer. Seeking God for guidance in how to steward what was once the largest Christian community in the world. He said very clearly, “be the solution!” Very clearly we knew what was to be done, had visions and dreams as to what it would look like, and we have the intellectual knowledge, the skills, and gifts, He would provide and orchestrate the project… and HE did.
What is your part?
We cannot do this without you. We are the body of Christ and every member serves a vital part of the body. You have a choice. Stay on the social media platform that many Christians complain about, let them use you, discredit you, mock you and your Lord, prostitute your privacy? OR cross over to the other side of the Jordan. Join a community of followers of Jesus. Followers that have a core foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We all may be a little different, worship a little different, and have varying theologies and interpretations but yet love the same Jesus and serve the same God. Join us!
