Title: How Can Christians Can Walk The Walk and Type The Talk?
Topic: Lessons for Life
Discussed by Chuck Giacinto

Part 1 of 4

How does social media look different for a Christian versus a nonbeliever?

At one point, you write that it's important to realize that our words, comments, links and posts go out and become part of the daily lives of others - a gift and responsibility. Do you think most people think about this when updating their Facebook?

I'm sometimes truly surprised at what people post on Facebook - even fellow Christians. What should a Christian consider before posting a blog, a tweet, or a Facebook status update?

You write that we should strive against using social media as only a platform for voicing our beliefs and opinions. What do you think about bloggers, and particularly those who spend the majority of their time calling out what they believe are the problems in the Church?

You talk about Christians being ambassadors of Christ. How does that look on a practical level in social media world?

What do you say to those who feel that social media sites are simple idle chatter, gossip sites, or at the most, entertainment How have you seen Facebook being used in what you would say is the right way?

Do you believe there is a higher purpose for social media than what most people use it for? Facebook is nearing the 1 billion user mark, with about 75 percent coming from outside the United States. How does this impact Christianity?

How far are you willing to go for the sake of the Gospel when it comes to your digital life? What are some practical ways to reach people though social media without simply just posting daily Bible verses?

What are some practical ways the church can reach people? What is worth sharing online? Do you find that people are lonelier now than ever...even with all their Facebook "friends" or twitter followers?

A lot of people who use social media get tired of the "my life is great" posts than some people make. What are the drawbacks of social media?

People seem to announce everything on their social media accounts whether appropriate or not. What are some example of when social media shouldn't be use?

In cloud culture, you write, "it's a true sign of maturity and Christian character when you can restrain yourself from leaving remarks that will only fuel the online conversations which are neither edifying not productive." How does a Christian handle this type of temptation?

What do you think social media will look like in the years to come?

In the days that Jesus walked this earth, the Pharisees were big-time liars. They told the people that it was ok to make an oath - or promise - as long as they didn't utter the word "God". They could swear on anything else and it was okay.

In this part of Mark Estep's sermon, he explains why this is so dangerous and calls the Pharisees' instructions to the people "spiritual schizophrenia".

Are you a dependable person? Or better yet, are your words dependable? Have you ever listened to a young child describe their day at school and asked them "are you exaggerating"?

Have you ever caught a 2 pound catfish that magically grew into a 15 pounder when you were telling your buddies at the office? Isn't exaggerating the same as lying?
