What purpose does social media have for the Christian?

     None in my opinion.  Let me explain.  Once upon a time social media was relegated to Adam and Eve with actual real genuine face time.  Once upon a time there was a temptation brought by Satan who both acknowledged the existence of God and the tempted Eve to eat the trees fruit.  I believe it was a pear and not an apple but what do I know.  Then Eve, corrupted by Satan's social media brought the fruit to Adam who didn't stand up and say "No!" but willingly accepted the new social norm of using bushes to hide their nakedness when God cam around to have fellowship with the man and woman he created in his image.  Satan creates no one and certainly not in his image other than all kinds of evil things.  God asks Adam and Eve why they were hiding behind the banana bush and they say, "Well, we are naked! Duh!"  Since he already knew this he questioned them about taking to social media to run their lives instead of him.  They said, "Cuz, like everyone is doing it."  God shakes his head and makes them from animal skins.  Because they were attached to social media God said, "Adam, you are going to work the land and labor will be your reward.  Eve, you will be subject to periods and much pain in childbirth and be miserable when you are pregnant at 5 months in the hot sun."  Wow!  Did it actually happen like that!?
     Now we know who operates social media and his intent.  Now we know what the original plan was and what was thrown away.  Now we look at today and wonder what happened as if we haven't been told.  What?  You weren't told?  Yes you were!  If you weren't told you are delusional and not much of a Christian representative.  What do you talk about on social media?  Do you stand up for Jesus and tell people to repent?  Do you not join in when others are making fun of others and instead tell those "others" that Jesus wants you to love your neighbor even if it's on social media?  Maybe you are part of the duped Christian population that believes God is outdated and old fashioned.  Worse yet, maybe you are so hip that when social media gets hot you won't mind the transition to eternity in hell.  Maybe...
     In the Bible we read that you and I are part of the solution (Jesus) or part of the problem (Satan).  We read you either stand for one or the other.  We are told that if we think not standing for Jesus that we fall for anything (Satan).  Christian!  Wake up!  You may think those liar televangelists are preaching God, but they aren't.  They are part of the problem placating people into eating from the tree and taking part in social media.  You may think going to church every time the doors are open makes you a Christian.  If that were true, going to McDonalds would make you a hamburger.  Don't eat from the social media tree!  Next time you look at something wrong and convince yourself it's right, stop and ask God.  Read the Word and seek His ways through prayer instead of listening to what's gospel on social media.  Choose you this day whom you will follow!  Remember, it's always your choice.
