Should Pastors Use Facebook?
Jesus was where people were. Throughout the gospels, not only do we find Him walking and talking with His disciples, but also stopping for all sorts of people: the rich (Rich Young Ruler, Luke 18:18-22), the poor (Woman with the issue of blood. Luke 8:43-48), the religious (Nicodemus, John 3: 1-21 ), the "sinners" (Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1-9). Matthew recalls, "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without shepherd." (Matthew 9:36, NIV).
Would Jesus have a Facebook profile today? We can't know for certain, but Facebook is where millions of people are, and Chris Forbes says pastors today can use it as a tool in shepherding their flock in his new free e-book "Facebook for Pastors."
