It is time to delete this account and leave X/Twitter. The relentless ugliness is not worth it.

We all know it can be toxic here. But it has been the conduct of Christian leaders that has most grieved me here. Slander works, and I don’t have the will to deal with to it.
I am deeply content in life and ministry. Which is why I want to step back from this app. There’s much good that can be done here, but for me far more good from no longer using it.
I’m so grateful to all who’ve encouraged and edified on this site. I’ve made good friends here. I’ve benefitted from good-faith disagreements. I wish all every blessing in Jesus.

I’ll delete my account in the next few days.

Hi Jared,
As you will recall, when you asked me two months ago to endorse your book, I declined to read it because of what I’d seen of your online behavior toward fellow Christians.

/1
Your recent speculations about me and my supposed loneliness on the basis of a clip from a talk I gave 9 years ago are another example of the kind of thing I was concerned about.

/2
I hadn’t planned to make any response, but repeated talk about my being “obviously lonely” and longing for marriage are not only untrue, but reflect poorly on Immanuel Nashville, the most relationally healthy church I’ve been in.

Four scriptures that have been shaping my attitude to social media:

1. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. –– James 3:5-6

We need to be cautious. Our tongues (& therefore thumbs) can do a world of damage.
2. Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good news;
lift it up, fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Behold your God!” –– Isaiah 40:9

We need to be focussed.
Is it apparent from our posts/comments, for example, that God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love? Or are we asking people to behold our opinions, rightness, big dealness?

Maybe God is giving us exactly what we’ve been wanting. We’ve prioritised individualism over community, the material over the relational, the virtual over the physical. And now we have it. More than we can likely manage.
We’ve also been chanting the virtue of self-expression. So let’s be honest: several days into lockdown, is self-expression still the highest good? Do the people we live with long that we’d express ourselves *more*?
And forced to spend so much time with our actual self — are we so confident of it’s essential goodness? Are we just stoked to have so much in distracted time with it? Or might we be finding ourselves wearying?
Maybe “you do you” isn’t the answer we thought it was.
