Dear Pastors,
When it comes to social media, please stop posting pictures of yourself on stage. Or the stage itself. Or the band. Or the cool lighting.
To you it looks like an invitation. You think it says, “Look, we’re cool! Come visit!”
In truth it says, “Look, we’re like every other gathering of people you’ve ever been to, with lights, music, and somebody who bores you for 30 minutes in a conference room!”
Most importantly, it does not tell people who Jesus followers really are.
Jesus said we should be known by our love. Not our sound system.
James …
