Intro
Hey guys, good evening.
We are back!
Thank you so much!
Those of you who were praying for our Marriage retreat.
Porsia and I had a great time.
Well today we look at way number 11 in our Series “12 ways your phone is changing you?
We are almost finished and I pray that you’ve been learning how to use your devices wisely, and not let your device control you.
If you do not have a bible, you can raise your hand and one of our leaders will get one into your hands.
Now, What’s the 11th way our phones is changing us?
#11 We become harsh to one another
Now what do i mean by that?
Some of the most hurtful things are done through the use of our phones and social media:
When we comment on people’s post with mockery
Trolling - spreading bad messages online with the intent of provoking hostility without the desire for resolution.
The most evil of all - are those sexually explicit videos of other students.
I remember i worked with a guy, he had 2 daughters and 1 son, he would always do his best to take care of his children, compliment them when they excel and rebuke them when they did something wrong.
I will never forget the devastation that followed, as one of his daughters was caught on video and circulated all over St. Vincent and probably the world.
I don’t have a child yet, but you can consider you guys my kids.
I can’t tell the heartache i would feel if that happened to any of you.
no one should ever have their mess paraded around like that.
not even my worst enemy.
That is called slander! 2 Authors define slander as Using information to belittle another, pour out contempt, mock, hurt, harm, to destroy, rejoice in someone else’s demise.
Another definition goes like this: attacking a persons motive so that the listeners’ respect and love for the person is undermined.
That means that a slanderer literally digs a pit for his neighbor as a hunter would for prey.
Essentially your saying i want you to be buried alive, i want you to suffer!
He literally digs a pit for his neighbor as a hunter would for prey
Guys if this is any one of you i want you to know that this is evil in the sight of God, and man.
as a matter of fact if you’re doing that, here’s what the bible says:
the bible calls you a fool, don-do head!
We don’t do that to ppl, with our mouths, phones or whatever, because that does not fulfill God’s purposes.
the bible calls you a fool
If you find yourself in that position God wants you to repent, put away these kinds of actions from you!
What about if what we are saying is true?
Many persons, christians or not, use the truth as a license to diminish others reputation.
The prayer example
Lord i’m praying for ...... right now that you will help him to stop throwing stones on mrs jones house in belair!
Jesus!
Help .......... to stop bad talking she so called best friend in Jesus name.
You may have done this before!
How about this one
The confession example - I just can’t keep this to myself i’ve got to get someone to bear some of this burden.
John you know ........ had a baby the other day, i just can’t believe she would do something like that!
This is between us eh, it’s just that i couldn’t keep it to myself.
Let’s pray for them!
The rebuke example
Jack, wey you say about james is not true.
What about the time when you been cuss bad word.
you ain’t no different!
So these end up being a comparing game, we add compare one another to the list of one anothers of the bible!
This is not how things should go!
God in His grace is not only concerned about who you would slander, but also about you, the slanderer.

Here are some things to consider before posting anything on social media:
I want to offer 12 brief questions to ask.
Think of them as indicator lights, the kind a pilot checks before take off.
1.
Will it Build up?
Or significantly inform a useful conversation?
(; )
Think of what will edify others.
All we do is in obedience to the command to love God and others.
How will it increase their knowledge, faith, or love?
Am I accurately representing positions you disagree with?
Am I sure of my facts?
Trivialities hopefully fill up our lives less than they do so much of the Internet.
As John Piper has said, “One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove on the Last Day that our prayerlessness was not from lack of time.”
He’s right.
2. Will it be easily misunderstood?
(; )
john 13:7:1
john 13:7
The privacy of a personal conversation limits misunderstanding.
Some public posts will sound one way to those who know us and another to those who don’t.
Negative assessments are often best shared privately, or not at all.
How many of us have learned at our workplace that e-mail is a terrible way to share negative comments?
When it comes to public postings, ask yourself: Are there reasons I may not be a good person to speak on certain matters?
3. Will it reach the right audience?
()
If you’re correcting someone, should the audience be wide—or more narrow?
Is that audience correctable?
When you use social media, consider who’s listening.
What if everyone in your church eavesdropped on your conversations today?
Yet we do this all the time online.
4. Will it help my evangelism?
()
Is what you’re about to say going to help or hinder those you’re evangelizing?
Is it likely to diminish the significance (to them) of your commitment to the gospel, or enhance it?
5. Will it bring about unnecessary and unhelpful controversy?
()
Think carefully about controversy.
The line between the vigorous exchange of ideas and a kind of social war is sometimes thinner than we think.
What’s this particular controversy to which I’d be contributing good for?
Might it be unhelpful?
How much time will it take up?
Is this an unavoidable primary issue, or a matter about which disagreement is fairly unimportant?
Will this controversy play into any other division that threatens the unity of my local church?
6.
Will it embarrass or offend?
()
Will anyone be embarrassed or offended by what you’re saying?
I understand that the mere fact something is offensive doesn’t mean saying it is wrong, but we must be sure it’s worth it.
7. Will it convey care?
()
1 cor 12:
Will those mainly concerned appreciate your motives?
Privacy in communication conveys care, an honoring of the person receiving the information.
