   No – Prayer is a priority!

   Facebook doesn’t keep people from prayer just like Sunday soccer games do not keep people from church and so forth. These things just give people who would rather be doing something else an opportunity to show themselves for who they are… We should keep our time spent on Facebook, blogs, texting, and other things in check to make sure we do not become myopic, post-modern, egopaths but the root cause is our disobedience not the electronic toys and distractions of our day.

   Don’t do Facebook or Twitter – but have my own distractions – as Truthy mentioned. The tools (books, PCs, etc.) are not the problem – our sinful neglect of what is revealed as God’s will for His people is the problem. Once again, we see why it is impossible for man to make himself acceptable to Holy God.

   A video (still photo) asking whether it’s prayer or facebook, really? The question itself, the video, and the entire situation are like lining up mirrors so your looking into a mirror seeing yourself in a mirror, seeing yourself in a mirror. As I do most always here, I skip the videos, the captions and still pretty much explains all I need to discern. I mean really, just because the American Psychological Society declassified narcissism as a disorder doesn’t make it valid in any sense. And this entire premise is just more navel gazing focusing on what “I’m doing”, or what “I’m not doing”, and wringing of the hands that “I’m doing too much of xyz”, so if “I” just do more or less of xyz “I’ll be ok”. No grace here, just law wrapped in “ME”.

   Michael Henry,

   You are mostly correct… and you get more correct with each passing day. People are so self-centered and getting more so. These “social” tools are not bad in and of themselves but they reveal what we are made of. I know some people who use FB very well and I know more who use it to fan the flames of myopia utopia that is their shrine to themselves.

   All in all, man is in a mess and only God’s grace will change anything. I urge everyone to use caution. We all need to get alone with God more. We certainly do not need to set up little electronic calves around our homes and cars.

   Thanks for saying what needed to be said.

   Truthy
