What is Twitter?

Twitter is a web service that keeps you in touch with the day to day events of your friends. At first Twitter sounded like a dripping of shallow self-centered thoughts from strangers. But it’s grown on me, though I only follow a few people, it allows me to get a feeling for their lives. You can be my friend here. And here is a video called ‘Twitter in Plain English’:

I would love to see a pastor use Twitter as a way to teach his flock…

What if he twittered verses and the whole church read together, or prayer requests and the whole church prayed together. Most of us sit behind computer screens all day long, how cool would it be if it was done ‘together’.

What if a community group decided to fast together, and twittered each other through the day for prayer and support.

What if a group of porn addicts or alcoholics were on Twitter made themselves available for accountability and support.

What if people twittered their thoughts about the sermon going on they could immediately tel all of their friends about the gospel?

What if the church was reminded of the bible reading plan of the day?

The list goes on and on. Innovation is going to be much more than making things pretty, Twitter is one area that could be used to worship God.
