What You Need To Ask Yourself Before Posting On Social Media.

R.C. Sproul Jr.:

Cyberspace is not only infinite, but eternal. No matter how silly, foolish, embarrassing our thoughts might be, they will be allowed to merge onto the information superhighway. But, all the off-ramps are closed. Believing the best defense is a, well, great defense, here are five things we ought to ask ourselves before posting anything on social media.

1. Ask yourself: If my mother, pastor, spouse, children were to read this, would they be ashamed of me?

2. Ask yourself: Where is this coming from?

3. Ask yourself: Have I practiced a judgment of charity toward the person I am writing about/responding to?

4. Ask yourself: Am I seeking to serve Jesus with this post, or am I seeking my own?

5. Ask yourself: Am I casting pearls before swine?

Okay, 6. Ask yourself: Am I being a troll?
