What to say and how to say it.
Give me a minute to explain
my approach to social media.
Here are seven of my approaches to social media.
(1) I will *never* apologize for communicating a biblical mindset.
(2) I will seek to begin with Scriptural doctrine applied to life.
(3) My starting point will always be theological, then, sociological.
(4) I will speak to cultural-political issues across a wide spectrum, founded in and submissive to a biblical-theological position.
(5) I will be glad to engage with individuals and their thoughtful ideas in a venue which suits us both. I will be judiciously honest when we disagree. I will celebrate our agreements while clearly identifying our differences
(6) I will seek to be irenic (peaceable) not polemic (combative) in my approach.
(7) Participating in verbal fights on social media is not my calling. Instead, I will care for wisdom (generous prudence), meekness (strength under control), and peace (not to be confused with weakness).
