As technology has been introduced into society, Christians have had to deal with what relationship, if any, they should have with it. This was, and is, a matter of spiritual responsibility that Christians, young and old, must accept in regard to Facebook. The purpose of this article is to present some biblically based perspective relative to Facebook that can be helpful to Christians in deciding the propriety of their being involved with it.
I. FACEBOOK OS A TOOL
Facebook is a tool, an extremely high-tech tool, but a tool nonetheless. As with nearly everything imaginable, it can be used for good purposes or bad ones. A hammer can be used for the purpose of building a house or bludgeoning someone to death; a knife can be used to slice bread for physically harm someone; a television can serve wholesome purposes or wicked ones. And on and on the analogy can go.
Facebook Can Be a Tool for Our Savior’s Work It is estimated that Facebook has more than 500 million active users who have an average of 130 friends each, and 50% of these users are active on any given day. Of those who use Facebook, 70% are outside the United States and more than 70 translations are available on their site.
Obviously, Facebook is a medium that can be used (and it is being used) as a powerful tool for the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The plan of salvation is being propagated to millions by way of Facebook. Prayer requests are made, Christian ministries are introduced, Biblical truth is taught, and church events are announced by way of this medium. By means of Facebook, brothers and sisters in Christ from all over the world are enabled to communicate with and encourage one another as was never before possible. There ‘s no question about it, Facebook can be used as a powerful tool for the eternal good of men and women and for the glory of God.
But the question is, How are you using your Facebook account? Perhaps you are one of those who have an average of 130 “friends.” What are you communicating to them for the sake of Jesus Christ and their souls? What are you doing to promote the ministry of your local church to people in your community with Facebook? “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required” (Luke 12:48).
Christian, if you are on Facebook you have the ability to reach out to thousands with messages that can evangelize the lost and edify the saints. What are you doing with your Facebook account other than publishing your secular interests and activities? Surely, as a Christian, you can think of better uses for Facebook than informing acquaintances and non- acquaintances of about your latest trip to the mall or how much you dread having to mow your lawn.
One day Christ will hold Christian Facebook users to an account for how they used this powerful communications tool that He allowed them to have in their hands. Are you using it to tell people what you had for lunch, but never telling anyone about their need for eternal life? Are you using it to tell your friends about your latest shopping experience, but never mentioning your salvation experience? With all of your posting, how much praise are you giving to the Lord on Facebook?
Facebook Can Be a Tool for Satan’s Work
Facebook can also be a tool for Satan’s work. He is expert in perverting potentially good things into bad things. In the hands of unsaved people, the thief, the pervert and the heretic can use Facebook for their nefarious purposes. And, if you allow it, Satan can use Facebook to bring reproach on Christ and His church and to create stumbling blocks for people.
Your Facebook page can be used to spread the message Christ wants the world to have or the one Satan wants the world to have. It can be a tool to bless men’s souls or to blight them. Take a look at your Facebook page. How much of the material on it would be totally unacceptable to Christ?
How responsible are you, as a Christian, with your Facebook page? Is it being used as a tool for the spread of the Gospel? Is it being used for good and wholesome things that are pleasing and acceptable in the sight of God (1 John 3:21, 22) or is it being used as a plaything of your flesh and for the advantage of the Devil?
Your Facebook page is a tool; but is it a sanctified tool? Everything we are and everything we have should be sanctified; that is set apart for God’s use, whenever and however He wants it used. For example, our car is a tool, but if we are unwilling to use it to serve some good purpose of God’s then it has never been sanctified by us. Our sanctification of anything means that God has first priority in how it will be viewed and used. “God giveth us richly all things to enjoy,” and He wants us to enjoy things and use things in this world (including Facebook), but He doesn’t want us to abuse the use of them (1 Tim. 6:17; 1 Cor. 7:31).
R. Buckminster Fuller once said, “Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.” There’s nothing wrong with the technology represented by Facebook, as long as our reasons for having it and our perspective towards its use aren’t wrong.
FACEBOOK AS A TEMPTATION
While there is absolutely no question that Facebook has tremendous potential as a tool that Christians can use to spread the Gospel and otherwise advance the cause of Christ’s kingdom, it is also sadly true that it is also something that, in unsanctified hands, can become a effective tool for advancing the work of Satan. The fact is that Facebook and other networking websites can become a powerful source of temptation to us if we are not careful.
Facebook and the Temptation to Squander Your Time
One of biggest temptations presented by Facebook is the temptation to waste our time. A recent survey conducted at four evangelical Christian colleges found that students between the ages of 18 and 27 spend an average of 18.6 hours a week using Facebook. This is the equivalent of a part-time job. Was most of this use related to study and research, etc.? Apparently not: Seventy percent of surveyed students said their top reason for using sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace was socializing.
Benjamin Franklin said, “Does thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of. If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality; since lost time is never found again, and what we call time enough always proves little enough, Let us then be up and doing, and doing to the purpose … Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure. Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.” “Time,” said the ancient Greek philosopher, Theophrastus, “is the valuable thing a man can spend.”
Most important is what the Bible has to say about the waste of time. The psalmist’s prayer was: “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Ps. 90:1). Ephesians 5:16 says that we, as Christians, should be “redeeming the time.” According to Colossians 4:5, to “walk in wisdom,” requires our “redeeming the time.” The Lord will hold us accountable for the stewardship we practice regarding our time.
Wasting time on Facebook is not only foolish; it is childish and sinful. It would be better for the students mentioned above to spend their time in gainful employment rather than to financially burden their parents while they play around on Facebook. And it would be better for family relationships if time spent frivolously on Facebook by family members was diverted from such silliness and invested in one another. Don’t defraud people by spending time on Facebook that you should be giving to them.
Facebook and the Temptation to Socialize with the Wrong Kind of People Furthermore, Facebook presents users with a tremendous temptation to become “friends” with the wrong kinds of people. The Bible is clear in its teaching that we are to be very careful about socializing with unbelievers. This teaching requires our discernment and discretion on the job and at school, etc., and it especially needs to be heeded where Facebook interaction, encounters, communication with people in cyberspace, is concerned.
The cases are numerous and growing day by day of Christian men and women who have made acquaintances over Facebook that have led to adulterous affairs and broken homes. Don’t think that it couldn’t happen to you! Young people in Christian homes are getting involved with strangers through Facebook who are anything but saved, spiritual people. Christian children are just as vulnerable to Internet predators as non-Christian kids are. Don’t think that your son or daughter couldn’t be taken advantage of by a predator. Also think about what kind of things your child may be having their minds filled with by a “friend” on Facebook.
Christian parents, based on what they perceive to be the level of their children’s maturity, place restrictions on them relative to driving a car, or where they are allowed to go, etc. But at the same time they put the most powerful, potentially dangerous (and time wasting) technology there is (cell phones, computers, Facebook, etc.) into their children’s hands, and give them free rein to use it as they see fit. This is insanity. Just because this sort of technology has been made available doesn’t mean you should make it available to your children.
Remember, Facebook exists as a company to make money. All your information on their website belongs to them—all your pictures, all information about you, your friends, etc. It’s all theirs to market to anyone and in any way they choose. Their “privacy policy” is a joke. Daily, people are finding new and interesting ways to use your personal information, photos, videos, etc. in ways that will cost your dearly.
All Christians have a responsibility before God concerning the associations they make, on Facebook or otherwise. We are not to enter into relationships with “fools” and “angry” people, and we are specifically cautioned about forming relationships of any kind with strange men or women. See Prov. 13:20; 22:24; 2:11-16.
The Bible tells us not to “Give place to the devil” (Eph. 4:27). Be very careful of the “place” Facebook is allowed to have in your life and in the lives of those you are responsible for.
FACEBOOK AND OUR TESTIMONY
The apostle Paul said, “all things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient” (1 Cor. 6:12). A biblically based, spiritually-minded perspective where the use of Facebook is concerned demands that we remember and respect this law of expediency. This is especially true where our testimony before one another and before the world.
Facebook and the Clarity of Your Testimony
Nothing communicates a Christian’s testimony more clearly than what they put in their Facebook profile, and what they otherwise post on their Facebook page. Looking at a person’s Facebook page will leave little doubt as to whether their interests are in the things of this world or in the things of the Lord. The Bible says that Christians are epistles” that are “seen and ready of men” (2 Cor. 3:2). Really, nothing more quickly and clearly reveals where a Christian stands spiritually, what they are all about, like an occasional visit to their Facebook page.
I have seen the Facebook pages of many Church members and other professed Christians that fail to make any mention whatsoever of their relationship to God, or that say anything that would even remotely indicate to a stranger that they are a Christian. This shows that the potential they have for the sanctified use of Facebook for witnessing purposes hasn’t occurred to them. There is nothing wrong with a believer posting things that aren’t necessarily of a spiritual nature on Facebook, but to ignore spiritual things altogether? Something is wrong with this picture.
Even worse are those Facebook pages where believers profile their favorite movies and movie stars, mentioning their trips to the cinema, etc. but never mentioning their enjoyment of a sermon or the services they have attended. The same goes for expressions of interest in and admiration for worldly, trashy, godless musicians, singers, actresses and actors. Can born again believers be so totally void of spiritual discernment that they don’t know any better than this?
What does it say about the kind of walk that a Christian has with God, about their true spiritual state, when their Facebook page is literally littered with their comments about their favorite Hollywood celebrities, country western singers and rock stars? What it says is that such commandments as “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world,” and “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (1 John 2:15-17; Eph. 5:11), in reality mean little or nothing to them.
It is nauseating to see Christian’s include the Bible in their list of favorite books, which also includes books dealing with themes that are sensual or even occultist in nature. All of this, including the carnal banter that goes back and forth between professed Christians over Facebook is proof positive that some of God’s own people have reached the same spiritual lows as those in Jeremiah’s day who had lost the ability to be ashamed of their worldliness; In two different places the prophet wrote, “They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush” (Jer. 6:15; 8:12). Such is apparently the case with many professedly Christian people today.
Again, few things can compare with Facebook in communicating quickly and clearly whether or not a Christian has a heart for God. What does what you have “up” on Facebook say about you, and where you are spiritually?
Facebook and the Coverage Your Testimony is Receiving
Jesus said that we should be a witness for Him to the entire world. Who would have ever thought, before the advent of the Internet, that so many average, ordinary Christians would have the potential that we now have for world-wide coverage where our testimonies are concerned, thanks to things like Facebook, Twitter and My Space.
Think of all the “friends” and “friends of friends” who access your Facebook page every day, and see what you have to say on it and from this draw their conclusions about who you are and what you really believe. Remember, that those who visit your Facebook page, don’t have the ability as God does to see your hearts, all they have to go by in making their assessment of you is by what they see; “For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7). Keep this in mind as you think about the coverage your testimony is having by way of your Facebook account.
In terms of the coverage you are getting on Facebook, don’t just think about your own testimony; think also about what you are implying about your parents, your family and your church. Does what you have up on Facebook, the posts, the pictures, etc. reflect well on the way you have been raised, the church to which you belong and the Christianity which you may or may not profess? What does your testimony on the worldwide web say about the Savior you claim is your Lord and the power of His salvation to transform lives?
Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour , wherewith shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:13-16).
Does your testimony on Facebook, as it touches more hearts and lives than you can possibly imagine, constitute salt and light? Is it a stepping-stone or a stumbling block for others? Do you not think that God would have you use the medium of Facebook, not just for your personal enjoyment, but first and foremost, as a way to broadcast a bright and shining testimony for Him and for the sake of souls? Of course He does. If you haven’t already, turn your Facebook and twittering, your electronic networking skills, into a powerful way for you to shine the light and scatter salt in the “furtherance of the gospel” (Phil. 1:12).
