Facebook Phenomenon

Nearly 70%, if not more, of the advertising done for this site is done on Facebook.com. Why? Because Facebook works! It is a phenomenon that is growing rapidly not only in America but throughout the world. It is almost a necessity in today's modern era; if you don't have one, you will.

Astonishing, huh?


So I encourage you in this remarkable networking world of Facebook, to find a way to live as genuinely in your cyber life as you do in your real life. As Psalm 65:5 reads, "You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the farthest seas..." All the ends of the earth. And the farthest seas. What a distance, one that need I remind you includes Facebook, Myspace, e-mail, text messaging, telephone conversations, and yes, even faxes. 


God is present in all aspects of our lives. So I encourage you this week, if you are part of the 200 million people who check their Facebook accounts daily (and admit it, you are), then keep living that spirit of genuine love that God has poured out for us on the cross. God is not landlocked; his forgiveness extends to the farthest sea and even the web! Happy Facebooking!
