Whether to delete social media accounts

To delete or not to delete? That was the question.

The Rev. Diana Washington-Valdez/Faith Today Christian Ministries


I've been debating whether to delete one of my Twitter accounts, the one devoted to news and political commentary, same with the other Facebook news page.

 Just when I get ready to do it, I come across someone (usually a stranger) who is asking for prayer, or someone who is reaching out to the digital world for support. That's happened more than once on the non-ministry pages.

At least for now, I will maintain both Facebook and Twitter accounts. I know that personal fellowship is best, but in this day and age, those of us on social media may be the only way others have to reach out for help, prayer or an encouraging word. 

Social media is not a substitute, and I try to encourage people to join a church community or find fellowship with Christians where they live who will pray with and for them. 

The God of the Universe is not limited by space, time, church buildings, or social media platforms. 

Praise song with lyrics 

Psalm 99:1-5 (NIV)


"The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.


2 Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.


3 Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.


4 The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.

5 Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy."


Shalom!
