The reach of Facebook is staggering, but there are lessons to learn about this social media tool.

Be careful about abusing privilege. Time spent reading posts adds up. A few minutes can translate into a few hours quickly.

Do not forget to live life. Life was not meant to be lived on Facebook. Do not air dirty laundry, express discontent, deal with confrontation, etc.

Use Facebook as a tool. Facebook serves as a great tool for encouragement, edification, and education, if used properly.

Remember our Christian influence. Our posts influence everyone who read them. Sarcasm, humor, and teasing do not always translate. Be cautious before posting.
