I am so glad I deleted all social media off my phone about a year ago. I deleted Facebook 3 years ago. It's been the most freeing thing I could have ever done. I would highly encourage anyone who is debating doing the same, do it. I am not so mentally cluttered and I am so much more relaxed.
It's been 7 years for me. I haven't missed it one bit and it is very liberating. When I was on Facebook and Twitter, I was foolish and my behaviors and actions. Obviously, I do watch UA-cam, but I try to stay away from all the junk. I truly believe social media has been a negative detriment to our society. Here comes AI -- we'd better hold on to our bootstraps!!!!
I had to walk away from social media for that very reason. I’ve heard that social media uses what they call ‘rage bait’ for the sole reason to get people to respond in anger. I’m guilty of it for sure. The constant negativity is too much, and is draining to the soul.
Same! Just discovered this channel a few months. Subbed with first video. This is good stuff! Thank you Rodd, may God bless you and your family and all here
I strongly suggest at least taking one day off a week from all social media -- including this site -- as a sabbath of sorts. No tweets, no posts, no comments. One day a week, just rest from it.
The sad thing is, any form of online of chat these days can bring up a heap of madness. Armchair enthusiasts can't get enough of making mischief😕. And often you see people just texting the life out of their devices as if it was a matter of life and death. Thanks Tod for reminding us that Solomon had wisdom during his life, but God is still the issuer of Wisdom in this day and age and forever 😊
10.23.2014 Thank you Wretched Ministry for posting this. May our Father continue to abundantly bless you personally Mr. F & the Ministry. Okay ... now you've encouraged me to have a study of the book of Proverbs!! 👊
This is excellent. Seriously, I am going to watch it a second time and take notes that I can refer back to OFTEN. I have come to realize that social media is poison to my soul. A year or two ago I uninstalled nearly all of the social media apps from my phone, with the exception of a couple that don't encourage the same kind of back and forth interaction as X, et al. My soul has become filled with downright contempt for people because of the mockery and vitriol that I see there. That does nothing to build a Christlike character or deepen my desire to see the lost saved, so some serious adjustments need to be made.
Simple answer: proofread what you just wrote on the screen at least 3 times through.. then hit cancel. I think for every message i send, I cancel at least 2.. flame wars are not a good thing, gossip and conjecture and lies are things to avoid posting or following as well. Yep, you are correct, checking your temper at the door (something we all need to do) is a great idea. Thanks for the video.
The first quote from Proverbs was one of the first verses that came to my mind many years ago when my family first wanted cell phones so they could be on Facebook. The LORD reminded me of other verses as well as. While I was praying and waiting for more guidance before I gave an answer my wife defied me and made the purchases without me. I still do not have Facebook because I can too easily sin with my words. However, all of the simple warnings that I was given have come to pass and are far worse that I could have ever expected. My wife, and now grown kids, are on Facebook all of the time. Their patterns of speech have gotten worse and I am still subjected to gossip and slander in daily conversation.
Hi, i hope you're well. If you're still struggling with certain sins like Gossip and cursing etc, you may have to repent and genuinely seek Jesus by reading the bible and after obtaining salvation you will receive the holy spirit, who is key in all Christians who are true believers in helping us to over overcome sin and becoming more christ like.
This really good. He did mention this but it’s also important for us to remember, whether we like it or not we have to engage in social media. It’s the battleground of ideas. Both for spiritual topics and political. We can’t abandon it. We just have to take these proverbs and apply them when doing so.
Im not sure what you are struggling with, but you can repent, seek Jesus and you will receive the holy spirit, the bible will help you further. Be blessed
This is actually very true and I love these principles and I actually take very much care about it but some christian fellows didn't give that chance at all no matter how much I tried avoiding them they are still coming with their foolish attitude.
Another reason I do not have or use these social media accounts. My social media consists of Christian UA-cam channels and I feel that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all. That is what my mother taught me at a very early age.
Early on, I found social media to be creepy. My wife and I have all but completely stayed away from it. I still use a flip phone so couldn't do the little thing with thumbs if I wanted to.
Please hire me I need a job intensely. I have a testimony I would love to share, but I have even more that I would love to contribute!! Andrew- brother in Christ.
May I make a friendly correction to the definition that was given to the word "polemic"? The Webster 1828 Dictionary defines it this way: "POLEM'ICAL, adjective [Gr. war.] 1. Controversial; disputative; intended to maintain an opinion or system in opposition to others; as a polemic treatise, discourse, essay or book; polemic divinity. 2. Engaged in supporting an opinion or system by controversy; as a polemic writer. POLEM'IC, noun A disputant; a controvertist; one who writes in support of an opinion or system in opposition to another."
Challies long-term association with the failing GTC renders most of his counsel subject to close inspection. I find it easier to ignore him than to sift through his half-truths
Like all things made by man for man they are made to confirm only man's ways....not God's. Yet, God is now and always has been greater than His creation....even man! So the internet can be used to glorify Him if used to bear fruit for His kingdom. John 15:8. Then in God honoring posts of truth confirmed in scripture is how one begins to do that! The gospel " good news " must be preached! According to scripture truth! MAatthew 24:14, 26:13 , Mark 16:15, Mark 16:20, Luke 24:47, Acts 4:2, 8:25, 9:20, 13:5, 13:38, 14:7, 14:21, 14:25, 17:13, 17:18, Romans 10: 14-15, Romans 15: 19, 1 Corinthians 15:1,12, 2 Corinthians 1:19, 11:7. Then Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessolonians, 1 Timothy, Hebrews, 1Peter.....!
This is very convicting. But is complete withdrawal the only correct response? It's our most current way to interact with the culture so is removing Christian thought from the public square really the goal? Is speaking for Christ amongst those who obviously need to hear about Him really nothing more than casting pearls before swine? Am I misunderstanding the call to witness? These questions are asked not to contradict those who believe we don't belong; I concede the legitimacy of the concerns raised and my questions assume the adherence to these warnings - I truly want to serve and obey so these are heartfelt thoughts that I'd love to hear some wise counsel on. ❤️🙏
Thank God for Elon musk and twitter right now. It’s got the bad stuff sure but it’s got freedom of ideas. That’s huge for us and every moral citizen. Freedom will lead to these things mentioned but the alternative is much worse.
Glory!!! After so much struggles i now own a new house with an influx of $115, 000 every month God has kept to his words, my family is happy again everything is finally falling into place. God bless America.🙌🏻
Hello, how do you achieve such biweekly returns? As a single parent i haven't been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong.
I raised 75k and Kate Elizabeth Becherer is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her.Kate Elizabeth Becherer is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!

I went back on Twitter for only 2 days last week, then I left it, again.
All of the 21 points are true what I saw in 2 days

Wow! These are great to remember. Thank you for these. Truly, God’s words are enlightening.
I wanna shake Todd Friel’s hand. Love that guy 😂
I'd rather want him to serve me a burger and fries from McDonalds!
Me too Rev ❤
Same! Just discovered this channel a few months. Subbed with first video. This is good stuff! Thank you Rodd, may God bless you and your family and all here
Please pray for me about the removal of a certain relationship, problems with neighbors/my neighborhood and demonic attacks.
Thank you.
Praying for you 🙏🏽✝️🤍

Never used social media, and never will. Being glued to a screen 24/7 is a shocking addiction.
I'm just glad that God never gave me the energy for social media. 😌
Thank you for this wonderful video and reminder ..
I dislike social media. I only use it for marketing now. UA-cam needs to be severely withdrawn from too.
The sad thing is, any form of online of chat these days can bring up a heap of madness. Armchair enthusiasts can't get enough of making mischief😕. And often you see people just texting the life out of their devices as if it was a matter of life and death.

I left Facebook in 2014. I still have an account, but I never use it. I do not use social media.

Great job and timely video!!
thank you for these reminders
Just avoid social media completely. It's the best path for a Christian. This way you'll never be tempted into foolishness via this avenue.
This is a great video! Thank you!
Somebody pray for me
Praying for you look to Jesus
Praying for you Sara 🙏🏽✝️🤍
Im not sure what you are struggling with, but you can repent, seek Jesus and you will receive the holy spirit, the bible will help you further. Be blessed
"The empty vase makes the loudest noise"

Brilliant and HUMBLING
Thank you!
Pray for Pastor Steven Anderson and his family.
Thank You
The word fool just reminded me of Ray Comfort's movie. 😅
Most of all, God sees.

I was warned of this lesson by watching Mr Woodcock❤

I do not really respond negatively on any platform
Is watching Fortis Institute videos on UA-cam also social media use?
BUT the people need to know what I think lol. This has been a poke in the eye :D

Looking for the uncle Rodger thumbnail comments…. 🧐 none so far.
