Yesterday I raised the tension between social networking and selfishness. It is more than blogging. Rick Warren, of Purpose Driven Life fame, once called Twitter "a narcissistic time waster", but now uses it regularly.
Where is the healthy Biblical stance between self-absorbed and self-control?
Motivation appears to be at the core. "Selfish ambition" is listed in the fruit of the flesh (the sinful nature) in Galatians 5:19-21. Then "self-control" is described as one of the fruit of the Spirit in verses 22-23.
God's grace enables us to see both our need to put the selfish desires to death (v. 24 and 26) and to place our footsteps in line with the Holy Spirit's leading.
How would I describe my motivation walking into 2010?
