Counsel #1 — Good Or Evil

Picture: Counsel #1 — Good Or Evil CLi 11.1

Social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, and other media platforms, is a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil. As a Christian, it is important to use social media responsibly and in a way that reflects your faith. CLi 11.2

Social media can have a positive or negative impact on your spiritual life. It can be used to connect with other Christians, learn about the Bible, and share your faith. However, it can also be used to spread false teachings, distract from your relationship with God, and lead to temptation.^[8] CLi 11.3

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.” Deuteronomy 30:15 NKJV CLi 11.4

“While we cannot do anything to change our hearts or to bring ourselves into harmony with God; while we must not trust at all to ourselves or our good works, our lives will reveal whether the grace of God is dwelling within us. A change will be seen in the character, the habits, the pursuits.” Ellen White in Steps to Christ, p. 57 CLi 11.5
