The Golden Rule in a Digital World"

Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr
12/8/2024

💡"Kindness knows no boundaries—not even the ones and zeros of social media."
– Bishop W. F. Houston Jr. 

📖 Divine Revelation:

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." – Matthew 7:12 (KJV)

💡 Now, let's explore our Philosophical Term for today: "Digital Etiquette."

Digital Etiquette is the practice of demonstrating respect, kindness, and consideration in online interactions. As Christians, it becomes a reflection of our faith and a tool to extend grace in the virtual spaces we occupy. 

💭 In today’s world, our presence online is as significant as our presence in person. Social media has become a place where we connect, share, and influence. Yet, it’s also a place where misunderstandings, conflicts, and insensitivity can thrive. How can we, as followers of Christ, stand out in a world of likes, shares, and comments? By applying the Golden Rule even here: treat others as you would like to be treated. 

Beloved, imagine what it would look like if every post, comment, and follow reflected Christ’s love. What if our digital interactions weren’t about gaining influence but about giving encouragement? When we follow back, engage kindly, or respond thoughtfully, we mirror the humility and grace of Jesus. 

🌟 Picture a ripple in a pond. A single drop of water creates a wave that stretches outward, touching everything in its path. 

This is the effect of kindness on social media. A simple gesture—following someone back, leaving an encouraging comment, or sharing a thoughtful post—can create ripples of grace that extend far beyond what we can see. Social media is not just a platform; it’s an opportunity to sow seeds of respect and compassion. 

Following others back may seem small, but it communicates that we value them, that they are seen and appreciated. It’s a way to practice humility, recognizing that our worth is not tied to the number of followers we have but to the way we honor others. Let your online presence be a testament to the love and kindness of Christ.

🙏🏿 Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy: 

Father, we come before You today, asking for wisdom and grace as we navigate our digital interactions. 🙌🏾 Help us to remember that even online, we are ambassadors of Your love. Teach us to reflect Your kindness in our words, actions, and connections. May our presence on social media bring encouragement, hope, and light to a world in need. 

To God Be The Glory! 🙏🏿

🌅 Beloved, as you scroll through your feed today, let kindness be your guide. Use your platform to glorify God and extend His love to others.
