2 Tim. 2:22
“Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
You might think this challenge means not tweeting about your life anymore. You’re wrong. By all means, tweet about the random, mundane stuff that makes up your life. Tweet about the movies you watch, the music you listen to, and the people you see. Just do it a little differently.
You want to say that the movie you just saw was really good. But was it? Or was it littered with sexual innuendo and swearing in every scene?
You want to say that an album you just listened to was amazing, but is it really? When you really listen to the lyrics, what is the band singing about?
You want to say that a friend of yours is being a real jerk, but should you? How does that help anyone?
Speak life, instead of death. Your words, even if you only have 10 followers, make a difference.
I’ve made 2 Timothy 2:22 the theme verse for leadwithtweets.
(That is quite possibly the easiest verse reference to remember. Four 2’s? Perfect.)
Pursue righteousness. Try your best to be like Christ in every aspect of your life.
Pursue faith. Believe in God & His glory to see you through anything.
Pursue love. Make every effort to show true love to others, and to God.
Pursue peace. Don’t worry, and leave things that don’t need your attention alone.
And do it with other people who are pursuing all of the same things. Show all four of those aspects of your life on Twitter. Run hard after them, and don’t let go.
Listen, you don’t have to mention God or Jesus in every tweet. You don’t have to try to get people saved. Just set an example of a Godly teenager who wants to love & strengthen others. Show that you're someone wants to make a difference. Then, it WILL make a difference.
