Recently someone I had just met started following me on Instagram. Over the next several minutes I got 4 notifications saying that this person had liked photos of mine. As I realized that they were looking through all the photos in my Instagram account, the thought came to me "What is being communicated to this person through my Instagram account? What is it saying to them about what I believe and what I think is acceptable? What does it say is important to me? and is the message it's deseminating in harmony with God and his word?"
Was it in any way communicating immaturity, idleness, a self focus, the appearance of evil, foolishness, vanity, and self promotion, or tearing down others? Or was it God honoring, encouraging, purposeful, sober-minded, wholesome, motivating, and building up and encouraging others?
I'm not saying that my account should be painting an inaccurate and insincerely fuzzy picture. But if my account were a sign post to others, which way would it be directing them?
As it has been said: "Out of 100 men 1 will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian." D.L. Moody
