TWITTER WARRIOR

WEEK OF 9/11/16

"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire."

- @MATTHEW5_22ESV

It's a rough world out there in the realms of social media. With people's true colors and wild political opinions and conspiracy's flying around, it's difficult to stay above water and not fall into the treacherous pits of an all out war with people you considered your 'friends'. Twitter wars are a common occurence, and no one is safe from the toils of battle.

How are we supposed to handle people who seem so lost, and happily so? How are we to deal with the ignorant, the bigots, the racists, the sexists, the apathetic and uncaring?

Do we defend ourselves and call them out on their foolishness? Do we bury ourselves in the trenches and burn bridges? If someone is acting idiotically in our opinion, don't we have the right to call them out as such? We're only being honest, right?

Hateful words rarely ever bring about a peaceful resolution, and Matthew 5:22 is here to remind us that other's actions should never dictate ours, when we are motivated to act or respond in anger. In the end, it will only hurt us.

As Christians, we are called to act above our baser instincts to respond in the heat of the moment. Instead, pray for peace, ignore the commotion, or block the agitators if need be. Just remember: Don't lose your zen.
