Once again, I am in Facebook Jail, and I have been restricted from sharing with groups. What terrible crime did I commit to end up like this? I shared my “Good News to Share” stories and tried to point the lost to JESUS. I combine Biblical truth along with my opinions and everyday events in my stories and that offends some, but I try to share it in love. I was recently reported for sharing “so many comments” (my stories) on a Christian page that hasn’t been updated in 5 months. Some Facebook workers who reviewed the offensive material and “the thief” (John 10:10) had a good laugh about that one! With 150,000 people dying each day and most going to hell (Mat 7:13-14), why are we “biting and devouring each other” (Gal 5:15)?
I regularly report porn that pops up when I click on harmless looking adds. Why can’t Facebook review their paid advertisements before they are released to billions of users? Why are accounts allowed to openly solicit porn or worse? Doesn’t that violate community standards? In today’s world where everyone is offended, why are videos that exploit and demean women even allowed? Facebook seems to have no problems tracking my activities or “Fact Checking” Christian posts, but they often reply that they are too busy to review offensive posts or that they have software that filters out harmful content. With all the problems Facebook has you would think they could find better ways to use their resources.
Some would ask why do you keep sharing on Facebook with all the anti-Christian harassment and their inability or unwillingness to remove the garbage? Because “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick” (Mat 9:12 KJV) and there are plenty of sick people on Facebook. We hear about “snatching people from the gates of hell” but those gates are not found in a deep hole in the ground but delivered right to you via social media!
Some suggested I get a friend to share my stories while I am in jail. I’ve tried that many times and even written stories on the subject, but I still get too few Likes and Shares. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that not everyone lives on social media, but many could do much more. I used to send out my stories by email along with the note “Only Share with those you love” but discovered it didn’t prompt people to share my stories. My Aunt correctly pointed out “we are supposed to love everyone” which was my point.
What about you? Are you following the Great Commission to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15 KJV)? If you are there will be one of two outcomes, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:16 KJV). If you don’t do it, perhaps no one will, and they could lose their chance to “believe” and be saved. If you don’t know how to preach (share) the gospel (Good News), I know where you can get 500+ stories to start the conversation.
Someone is waiting to hear the Good News from you. GOD did His part when He “so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17 KJV) and now it your turn to do your part.
