I’ve spent a lot of time thinking lately about the purpose of our ministry’s involvement in social media – Facebook, Twitter, and blogging in particular. I certainly don’t want the top priority to be self-promotion; too much of that can breed a perspective of superiority. We certainly do believe God’s hand is upon us and He desires to creatively use us to invest in the lives of youth. So instead of a dissertation on why we’re involved in these platforms, I came up with this simple statement…
We want to add value to the conversation. Not because we’ve got it all figured out. Every day God reveals a little more of Himself to us because his grace is overflowing. It’s those little daily insights that we want others to share in. When God reveals something to us, it is divine wisdom and of value.
Nothing profound, I know. But sometimes the most impactful concepts are not supposed to be complex. I look forward to learning more from Him and sharing it with you, and also hearing what He is teaching you.
“And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” – Isaiah 40:5
“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.” – Daniel 2:21-22
“At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children” – Matthew 11:25
