¹⁷ And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. – Colossians 3:17

I feel like this question comes up a lot. Is Blogging, Twitter, and Facebook a waste of time? Does it really make a difference? Does Tweeting inspiring quotes really have the ability to change someones life? I’ve asked myself this hundreds of times. My conclusion – Yes. It can make a huge difference.

Using social media could get you a job, get you fired, enhance your life or ruin it, connect you with the past, push you into the future, get you noticed or ignored, get you connected with a future spouse, or cause you to have an affair that ends in a divorce, ruin your reputation forever, allow you to waste your life, or allow you to influence millions of people and change the world.

The Catch? It’s entirely up to you. Social media is like money, it’s neutral, neither good nor evil. How a person uses social media will determine whether or not it will be good them.

I want to take a few days and talk about what I’ve learned through this “Revolution” and hopefully by the end, you’ll take what you’ve learned and make an even bigger difference in the world.
