The neighborhood bar is possibly the best counterfeit there is for the fellowship Christ wants to give His church. It’s an imitation, dispensing liquor instead of grace, escape rather than reality, but it is a permissive, accepting, and inclusive fellowship. It is unshockable. It is democratic. You can tell people secrets and they usually don’t tell others or even want to. The bar flourishes not because most people are alcoholics, but because God has put into the human heart the desire to know and be known, to love and be loved, and so many seek a counterfeit at the price of a few beers. ~ Bruce Larson
This is probably a pretty true statement and I think the same thing applies to social networks. Know and be known... and we do it without realizing God has much more to offer and we are literally missing God's boat of real opportunity and real living. just my opinion
