Not Just 140 Characters


        Welcome to the Information generation, this is a period in history when there are more ways to communicate than any other time in human existence. Our world revolves around the nanobyte, ipod,  internet video, Twitter craze. We as human beings walk about our daily lives unaware of the various amounts of info we subconsciously take in. As a christian the foremost reason I am alive is to grow in relationship with my creator. I see all the various relationships brought into my life as a mirror of that greatest relationship with Him. When you look at life in this way it becomes simple to understand the hierarchy of purpose in it all. With the dawn of technology it brought many good things but also many horrible options. Any thought imaginable can be brought to life in vivid form with the click of a button.

       Think of how many pornography sites are added worldwide per minute, the statistics become alarming. As result of this I believe an entire generation will lose their understanding of what it means to love. Don't be scared off by this, Romans 12:21 says; Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. What would happen if every tweet and blog post you publish comes from a premeditated mission to overcome evil with good. Lives undoubtedly would start being affected for the better. Blogs are at their highest point of affectability right now, micro blogs like Twitter leading that statistic. So spend more time on your post, actually think before you tweet. Devote the 140 characters of a twitter message to God. Stop hating sinners, bring them into you're social network. When you stand before God in heaven, how will you be held accountable given the opportunity to live in information generation. How much will YOU contribute to the statistics?
