"Your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it" 1 Thessalonians 1:8b
You can read: 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10
Social networking, viral videos, blogging, tweets. These are today's buzzwords when you want to catch up with the latest from friends. There are so many sites available today that even my inbox always has an invite from an old friend to join him or her on this or that particular network.
These social networking sites have become online diaries, with people constantly updating their profiles and shouting to the world what they think, how they feel, what they're doing right now. The merger of online features, telecommunications and other hand-held devices also enable people to connect with ease, at any time they want to.
I wonder how fast news spread in the days of the apostles. According to Paul's letter, the faith of the Thessalonians were known everywhere, thus negating the need to say anything about it. If the news about these people's faith spread that far that fast in those days, when news spread on foot or through messengers on horses or donkeys, imagine the potential for good news to travel these days.
Technology today helps us communicate easily. Why not use it to spread the good news as well?
