A word about my personal “philosophy of twitter/social media.” While I know some see Twitter as a way of having interactive debates and long conversations. I do not.
I think a better way (and surely longer-lasting way) to speak, for me, is through sermons, books, and substantive articles. I think a far better (and surely more effective way) to speak to individuals with opposing views is to do it face to face over a period of time. 2/
I use twitter mainly to quote and refer back to a) my own sermons and writings, b) the writings of other authors, living and dead, who I believe are of great value, and c) to try out some longer threads/ideas I'm working through. If I don't respond on twitter, this is why. 3/
I have not seen evidence that people with opposing views usually move closer together if they are having conversations in the digital public. It is more productive to all parties when the dialogue is done in private. To my point, I write about this here! 4/quarterly.gospelinlife.com/social-media-i…
