What Would God Twitter?

For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, Internet based social networks are currently the latest craze for everyone from teens to savvy older folks. Myspace and Facebook are the biggest names in social networks. One creates a profile adding various bits of personal information, photos, or whatever else he or she wants to share. Then, he or she contacts friends, relatives, or whomever else he or she wants to connect with. It can either be the biggest waste of time one encounters or an opportunity to stay in touch with individuals living on the opposite side of the country or maybe even completely outside of the United States. I’ve read this type of interaction can strengthen the mind by helping us recall facts about individuals and past events. I use Facebook to communicate with several people from the Roseville church. I first announced the Tigers game there.
Twitter, getting more popular by the second, is a streamlined type of social networking. One shares a message (no more than 140 characters long), called a “tweet”, with those visiting one’s Twitter web site or those who connect to Twitter through portable devices. Some individuals use Twitter to tell others what he or she is doing every 5 minutes throughout the day. Today, I found a Twitter entitled “What Would God Tweet?” (WWGT) Here is a sample entry: “Day 1: Lighting system installed, brb. Day 2-6: Some assembly required: sky, plants, cows, people. Left humans in charge, lol. Day 7: Siesta”. This Twitter reminded me that God and His word are very accessible. He has not made a puzzle that can only be interpreted by an elite underground society. God walks among us (Lev. 16:12). God wants us to know the truth and be saved (1 Tim. 2:3-4).
