Twittering for Christ

August 10, 2009

Last Thursday, the world was Twitterless for a day. Supposedly, we nearly fell apart. What is this Twitter we hear so much about? Is it something we can use for Christ?

Twitter is one of the many forms of social media communication. It’s mini-messaging to subscribers. Or it’s abbreviated blogging to the cyberworld. It’s a free, easy and quick way to get your message out to the masses—140 characters quick, in fact, meaning you can only use up to 140 letters and spaces to write your message, a.k.a. as a tweet.

At first, Twitter may seem kind of stupid. I mean, does the world really care what each of us is doing (the initial question users answer)? But wait. According to The New York Times, 45 million people are “legitimate visitors.” If that’s true, perhaps Twitter’s not such a stupid way to reach the tech savvy crowd in your congregation or the world with your message of Christ.

Here’s how some churches and individuals are Twittering for Christ:

Twitter Prayers: like an old-fashioned prayer chain, only faster

St. Mark’s Lutheran: a church and school announcement board

TheGodSeekers: sharing prayers and Bible verses

LifeisGod: a testimonial of faith

Are you Twittering for Christ? If so, please share with us!

    The WELSTech office published a 1 hour podcast (download) this summer on using Twitter in the classroom; “Twitter and the Twassroom”.

    With Twitter’s global reach, you’ll never know who you’ll touch with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ; the “great commission”. Matt 28 16-20

YOU DON’T NEED TO SHOW YOUR ASS TO BE SEXY. ⁣
⁣Be a leader not a follower, show an example to our young girls  and boys .... they are our little legends running around ! How do  you want them to remember you ? .... be proud A woman of our great nation!! ❤️💯 I’m SO SICK and tired of girls being led to believe that they’ve got to pucker their lips, stick out their butt, flash some cleavage, and put seven filters on their face to feel like they’re cute. ⁣
⁣
Girls, this is sexy....⁣
⁣
Working hard. Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.⁣
⁣
Giving of yourself. And even when you don’t feel like you can, having the faith to know that God will carry you through it.⁣
⁣
Making yourself a priority. Even if all that consists of is taking a 20 minute bath while Daddy watches the baby.⁣
⁣
Being a leader. Someone who lifts others up, encourages, and supports other women.⁣
⁣
Being a spouse who stands by their man. She fills the gap when he’s tired and weak, she is a soft place to fall and simultaneously hell on wheels when needed.⁣
⁣
It’s humility. Understanding that you’re one person in an enormous universe. The world doesn’t revolve around you.⁣
⁣
Being a life-long learner. You’re never going to be too smart to listen and learn something , even from the least expected places. Get off your pedestal, look around, and learn something. ⁣
⁣
It’s understanding your strength. Stop acting like a fragile little flower and woman up. Again, and again, and again.⁣
⁣
It’s being vulnerable. When “womaning-up” is just too hard, allowing yourself to accept your weaknesses and ask for help.⁣
⁣
These are just a taste of the qualities that can make up one helluva sexy woman. ⁣
⁣
Stop limiting yourself to six pack abs and booty bands.⁣
⁣
Pick up a freaking shovel, love someone, learn something, and discover yourself.⁣
⁣
That’s what sexy is to me.⁣
⁣
Which of these do you need to work on?⁣
