There is a fine line between facebragging and giving God-honoring information. I’ve been working through taking the log out of my own eye before attempting to take the specs out of my brothers and sisters.
I started out by making a list of a few rules for determining if it’s God-honoring or facebragging. Then I realized that sounds too much like what a Pharisee would do. In reality it all comes down to my heart. Am I posting stuff in the hopes you’ll wake up to my awesomeness or to somehow praise the Lord and point to Him?
Here is the central question: Do I want to be seen by men or do I want to be a window by which people see the beauty of Jesus?
That is a question that I want to ask myself before I tweet things that tip-toe towards facebragging.
