Making a name for ourselves and gaining a following are huge temptations, not merely in the secular world, but for Christians as well. Thank you for drawing our attention to this, and doing so in a concise and realistic manner.

I guess I'm just wondering about collecting friends through association of other friends and then never really interacting with them or them with you. <br /><br />Oh and what you said about the last word is good. I have to guard against wanting to be a last word person myself. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-62998704058571897982013-07-29T09:04:53.543-04:002013-07-29T09:04:53.543-04:00Hollie, I think that is a very individual question...Hollie, I think that is a very individual question. My husband's advice to such things is "learn to ignore." If we avoid everyone who whines or debates, or says an offensive thing, we would speak to no one. I think there are definitely times when certain people need to be avoided if we can't deal with the unpleasantness. I have lots of Facebook acquaintances whom I have not met, and I wouldn't want to eliminate them entirely. But I do think we owe no one an obligation to interact online with them. My husband regularly tells me to ignore people, especially if those people are the type who insist on having the last word. He doesn't trust people who insist on the last word every time.Kim Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636800185288441620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-12138135763137575462013-07-29T08:26:03.999-04:002013-07-29T08:26:03.999-04:00I'm starting to wonder if we should remove tho...I'm starting to wonder if we should remove those from our online life that are a distraction or a temptation to things like debate or whining (even if they are a believer but not truly a close friend rather just something like a Facebook acquaintance.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-6372128225728753592013-07-29T07:45:44.664-04:002013-07-29T07:45:44.664-04:00Stop reacting to secondary issues that have no dir...Stop reacting to secondary issues that have no direct bearing on salvation/gospel.Persishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686511618515789601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-41310405794183380262013-07-29T06:13:00.239-04:002013-07-29T06:13:00.239-04:00Avoid debating with those who debate for debate...Avoid debating with those who debate for debate's sake, rather than for the pursuit of truth.Kim Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636800185288441620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-88520946196977602702013-07-29T06:05:24.987-04:002013-07-29T06:05:24.987-04:00Stay out of doctrinal differences where I know wha...Stay out of doctrinal differences where I know what I say is not going to be received.
