In recent years, social media sites have run rampant through all aspects of our culture. They've transcended their original niche status as corners of the internet used for self expression and communication and have grown to the point where if you don't have a Facebook or Twitter, people look at you like a two-headed llama. Conventional sites can be great for keeping track of distant relatives and their many offspring. You may also be tempted to check on the development of that creepy guy with greasy hair who used to stare at you from the corner of your high school class into something approximating a useful citizen.
All of that has its place, but there is no accounting for the standards (or lack thereof) of morality on the internet in general and social media specifically. Free speech is a cornerstone of may constitutions in the free world, but it also means that there are many choices of where to get information and opinions from That's why a christian site like Facebook is part of a new trend in more controlled, specific social media sites that will be the future of internet discussion and community.
When you know the other users on the site are subscribers to the Word and Will of the Lord, you no longer have to worry about lewd pictures, sacrilegious, irreverent or blasphemous posts, or anti-Christian propaganda. It is true that nobody talks about their religious views all of the time, the lack of a moral code or compass is often evident in even the most innocuous posts. This is why a purely Christian alternative to the social media giants already out there is a necessary development in these hectic, trying times. God tests us all through our life situations, but the fellowship and guidance of our Christian brethren on the internet helps us get through whatever tests we may face elsewhere.
