Teens and Social Media

Ran across this article a couple of weeks ago by Scott Douglas and thought it was gold. Here's an excerpt.

"Social media-worship is a cheap substitute for our students, who are made to derive their full value, worth, and satisfaction in and through Jesus. Whatever we place on the throne (rightly occupied by King Jesus) will never satisfy us to the extent that only He can. Pointing to and depending on our “number of friends” falls short when we consider the facts that Jesus has called us friend, and that He has given us a new identity in Himself. John 15:15 makes it clear that we have been brought near to Jesus in a real and powerful sense that is so much deeper and greater than being involved in a social media friend network."
