Facebook!
Thou shalt not commit adultery. And thou also shalt not use Facebook.!!!
The Rev. Cedric Miller said 20 couples among the 1,100 members of his Living Word Christian Fellowship Church have run into marital trouble over the last six months after a spouse connected with an ex-flame over Facebook.
The Neptune, NJ pastor, is ordering about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts with the social-networking site or resign from their leadership positions.
At first he had asked, his married congregants to share their login information with their spouses, and now plans to suggest they give up Facebook altogether.
“I’ve been in extended counseling with couples with marital problems because of Facebook for the last year and a half,” he said. “What happens is someone from yesterday surfaces, it leads to conversations and there have been physical meet-ups. The temptation is just too great.”
On Sunday, he plans to “strongly suggest” that all married people stop using Facebook, lest they endanger their marriages.
“The advice will go to the entire church,” he said. “They’ll hear what I’m asking of my church leadership. I won’t mandate it for the entire congregation, but I hope people will follow my advice.”
Sorry people but I agree with Pastor Miller, people use Facebook as an opportunity to invite others to social gatherings, to share Scripture or talk about what went on at church, for businesses., etc. and those are all positive and worthwhile things but the downside can be just too great.
It’s an individual’s choice and an individual’s decision but a useful tool can become a trick of the enemy.
Oh and the picture represents what the Bible says: “if something causes you to sin, whether it’s your eye, hand or foot, you should cut it off, because it’s better to be blind or lame and going to Heaven than to have all your parts and end up going to Hell”
