The Internet is the Devil...

“The internet is the devil!” At least that is what Bobby Boucher’s mama might say (the Waterboy).


I have had conversations with people about social networking, email, twitter, Facebook and the internet in general. A lot of people think these things are bad because predators, porn advocates, and other seedy endeavors take full advantage of them, and that is true, those things are out there. But the internet is not the devil; the devil just uses it better than we do to get the message out.

So, how about “Social Networking for God”? I am obviously not the inventor of this idea. But, I am on a quest to see what I can do to further it. This all came about during a Sunday school lesson I was teaching. The lesson centered on Christians being expected to tell others about what God has done for them. Not just the big thing, Salvation, but the little day to day things as well (however, if you want to know about Salvation, I’d be glad to talk to you about that as well).

So what are we to do? Well, what I felt led to do is start my own “What has God done for you?” campaign. I made a commitment to my class that I would use the social networking tools to tell about what God does for me. I have a twitter account (@RobHill413), a blog (http://starvt.blogspot.com/), and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/starvtRobHill) all set up and ready to start spreading the news. The news of the things God does for me. These might be big things, little things, ordinary things or extraordinary things. The point is to let people know, God is involved in all the things.

So what do I want from you? Just do what your heart leads you to do. Read them if you want. Be a follower if you can. Pass the links on to your friends if you’d like. Join in and post your own thoughts and events that you would like to share centered around what God does for you. The objective is to get information out of a good nature. If the devil is flooding the internet with his messages, let’s see if we can flood the internet with God’s messages.

So if you want to join me in this quest (or at least support me), then join Twitter and become a follower of @RobHill413. From there I’ll “tweet” daily messages, links to great websites, stories, devotionals, and other things of interest. I won’t be filling your life full of senseless info, and you only get sent information for those you follow so won’t have to worry about what some celebrity had for breakfast.

So help me, let’s see how this can grow.
