TRUE FACE TIME

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, (Hebrews 10:24)

Do you remember the time when you opened your Face Book account? When you first re-connected with old friends? It was exciting and addicting all at the same time, right?  More then likely you have made even more 'friends' because of social media. But have you really taken the time to examined weather you are in good company or not?

Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

Social media can appear to be the best way to connect with people. Especially for those of us who feel like we live 'in-the-middle-of-know-where' ( you know, when your package you just ordered online says 'undeliverable', physical address unknown or no shipping outside the continental USA, aka Alaska and Hawaii) Or quite possibly in the middle of a big city. I could only imagine how it could very well be the same for those who live in a BIG city. Where there are SO many people it seems impossible to connect with anyone.

Don't lose site of God's Word. And, although Face Book is a great way to stay connected and meet new people it can also take you away from 'true face time' with people who need Christ's light. That's you! When Christ called you to be His, He also gave you The Holy Spirit in order that you might be light for Him. (Read Matthew 5:13-16)

not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:25)

(Note: The 'Day' when Christ returns)

How would you examine your 'true face time'? In your journal today write down ways you have reached out to someone 'face to face'. Also consider how you might meet with one of your 'face friends' (aka face book friend).

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father In heaven. (Matthew 5:25)

Blessings!
