Anthony Carter wrote an excellent post on the nature of facebook and the church over on the Gospel Coalition Blog. Here’s a quote:
Facebook is community without depth; community without commitment. Church is community with depth and commitment. It is the way God has designed it. As disciples of Christ, we are called to be in community. There are two many “one another” passages in the Bible to deny this. And yet, this community is also with commitment and depth. The Christian life is not designed to be a life lived in isolation. God saves us and calls us together. We are to pray together. We are to sing together. We are to eat together. We are to serve together. We are to study together. We are to raise children together. We are to live and die together. This togetherness creates a depth of intimacy that not only serves the cause of Christ (John 13:35), but it serves us in our times of need (2 Cor. 1:3-7).
