Internet sins

Internet sins; let's talk about the most common Internet sin in light of Galatians 6:7-10. 

  We know the "Law of Christ" is to love others and encourage them as they face the obstacles of life; to help them, to be a faithful friend and advocate; to show kindness and patience, and while we still have opportunity, because the time is short, and to do good to all people, especially fellow Christians. But if we shirk our responsibility, and withdraw, isolate and neglect to do all the good we can, this is "mocking God and sowing to the flesh", meaning: violating the "Law of Christ" by putting our self first by neglecting our opportunities to do good. And if we do this we will reap a corruption within; that corruption may cause a quenching of the Spirit, it may breed an exaggerated fear of people; a melancholy spirit and loss of joy. 

So let me suggest a way we frequently commit Internet sin; each time we read the attempts of others to bless us, or ask for our prayers, and you read and pass by the post, without responding, you are taking but not giving. Paul urges us to not lose heart in doing good, even the small good of acknowledging the efforts, or needs, of someone who posts. 

So, bear one another's burdens and take advantage of the countless opportunities, every day, in every post, and do some little act of kindness, even if it's simply clicking on "like".
