“It's possible that the people you follow online have come between you and the One who said, “Follow Me.”

“Our tongue wants what tastes good to it, not what is good for us.”

“If you habitually look for love and companionship online, when the love of God is found in the companionship of Christ, then social media isn’t good for you. Perhaps you need a short forty-day break to connect with God. Disconnecting from that which is less good frees you up to connect with the One who is most good. With His help, when this fast is over you might be able to set boundaries around your online relationships that allow you to enjoy those good gifts in light of the good Gift-Giver. But if you can’t, then don’t reengage online. All things may be allowed, but if they don’t allow you to stay focused on the satisfying goodness of God, then they aren’t good for you.”

“When I turn to my phone to cope
with stress, I don’t return to my family
more able to handle the stress. When
I sneak away to social media, I don’t
return to my husband and children more socially available. When I put my face in Facebook, rather than the Good Book, I don’t find the help I need when it’s time to face my family again.”
