On your social media accounts, be sure to share truth, beauty, and goodness. When Christians are more well known for what they are against than what they are for, we all lose. But we have to be careful not to be in a constant state of negativity. Here’s a fact: There’s far more bad news than good news on social media.Ĭhristians can easily tap into that and lament the growing immorality and loss of truth around us. Here are some tips to help us better represent Christ online - by addressing common pitfalls of Christians on social media: image, attitude, discernment, distractions and nastiness. While many Christians carry themselves with kindness and grace at church, once they tap that social media app they transform into some kind of snarling beast.Ĭhristians are called to be Christ’s ambassadors: “ Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20).īut for some reason on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, many times, it seems like Christ is completely absent from our minds. Today as Matthew West shares the music video of this beautiful song we can be honest and say that this song is all of us who are hiding out true feelings and emotions but not anymore.īeing open and unashamed of our feelings will help us heal faster and make us stronger to run the race of our lives.What you do and say on social media actually matters.
When being honest is the only way to fix it I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it I say I’m fine, yeah I’m fine oh I’m fine, hey I’m fine but I’m notĪnd when it’s out of control I say it’s under control but it’s not But to understand that there is a God that sees every secret sin, every struggle, every thought, every mistake, and loves you still- that is a freedom like no other.” For someone who hasn’t discovered the freedom of grace, the thought of a God-knowing about the worst parts of your life can really freak you out. Scripture says nothing in our lives is hidden from Him. West added, “The crazy thing is, the truth is already told when it comes to God. What will people think? How will they judge me when they know I’m anything but perfect?” But allowing others to see the rough-around-our-edges, is a scary thing. West shared about the inspiration behind it, “I think deep down we all like the idea of showing who we really are, warts and all, to the world. Lie number 2 everybody’s life is perfect except yoursĪnd your secrets safe with you behind closed doors Lie number one you’re supposed to have it all together It is West’s third single and West says this about the song,” This song is an honest attempt by me to be, well, honest.
It’s okay to say we are not fine and acknowledge that we are hurting or upset.įour-time Grammy Nominee and Dove Award-winning artist Matthew West dropped his newest song, “Truth Be Told” in 2019.
