Jesus, the Twitter King!

Tonight I read the story of Jesus calling the disciples to follow him (Luke 5). In the story he tells peter that he will be a fisher of men and then the bible says they all followed him. That thought just made me stop and think, Jesus is the Twitter King! I know it is a little extreme but the fact is that he followed God the Father unconditionally and called others to follow him. Isn't that what twitter or any other sort of social media is all about.

If you tweet or use twitter you know of a tool that makes it much easier, called tweet deck. Tweet deck organizes your tweets and helps you see when things are directly to you, you are mentioned by another, and the entire river of thoughts from those you are following. God has given us a tweet deck to house our relationship with him called spiritual discipline. I think the categories on this deck would be personal prayer, bible study and healthy relationships.
  • Personal Prayer- Who are you Following? It you never hear from the one you are so called "following" are you really following them?
  • Bible Study- The river of information that gives us direction and gives us a foundation in which to stand on.
  • Healthy Relationships- God uses people to give Direct Messages to you!
How does your Tweet Deck look? Keep your eye on these categories!

  1. I'm always a huge fan of word pictures. Way to draw a spiritual connection to TWITTER, man! That was very Christ-like of you (Matthew 13:34)
