facebook.

Sometimes I get depressed scrolling through my news feed on Facebook.

I'm not against having fun. 

It's just...

People elsewhere are getting hanged right after they become a mum just because they're Christians or having their churches bombed or struggling to make ends meet because they chose a life of mission...

...and we, on the other hand...

What are we doing with our lives?

I would think that if we didn't have the willpower and strength to endure what they endure, we could at least live a life worthy of our calling.

The second-years in USM's CF (PKA) did a parody of Frozen's "Let It Go" for their graduating seniors, quoting several portions from the book of Hebrews in the process: 


Very funny, but also very moving. 

The words that stuck with me were:

"On you go, on you go, 
Being Christ's ambassadors
Touching lives, showing Christ
Reconciling the world back to Him
This is your calling
Let the years roll on
We'll all meet in heaven anyway."


The posts I see on Facebook now are the same as if a lawyer were to post his/her views on certain national issues and either get the law all wrong (outdated, overruled or simply non-existent law), wrongly apply the law, state opinions that even a layman can come up with, or worse - opinions that a layman WOULDN'T say simply because it was so unintelligent.

Or an English teacher posting an article which has typs, bad splling, inaccurates grammar or terrible 'Punctuation". (see how it makes you squirm?)

"Nobody's perfect". 

Fine. I agree. I'm not perfect either.

But we could all do ourselves and others a favour by asking ourselves this question before posting anything on Facebook: 

Does it reflect my calling?
