SOCIAL MEDIA AND SHEPHERDING



In one sense, social media is wonderful for a pastor to see what the sheep are doing.  With a large flock, it sure helps keep up with them. Yet, what I often see is heartbreaking.  It makes you wonder if you are accomplishing a thing. The language, behaviors, pictures posted, things celebrated—can cause you to lose sleep. They don’t like correction, either. There are other posts that help you know that some “get it,” and are growing in faith. That is encouraging. Of course, the Good Shepherd  that knows me, loves me—and grieves over my wickedness.  That’s what shepherds do. Anybody else feel that way?
