Last week in this space I encouraged the “one-talent” Christians out there to not lose heart, but rather to rejoice in the “small things” they may be able to do in service to God and to the church. I thought I would follow up today with some specifics.
Again, these are things that virtually any Christian can do.
I have some unsolicited advice for my social media friends who like to pass along photos, memes, links, and various other items that might fall under the heading of “atrocity of the day.”
Don’t.
“Like,” for most English-speaking humans, means like. I say that to clarify for those who may not be acquainted with the nuances of social media. When you “like” your wife’s cooking, it may simply mean that you don’t want to eat Cheerios for dinner tomorrow night. When you “like” your child’s latest painting, it may say speak more to your relationship with the child than it does the child’s artistic talent. But usually, like means like. And that’s especially true if, as with social media, you provide no context.
