Did You Meme That?
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Here we will consider various memes collected from the internet. Some very absurd things
are posted in memes, but the really amazing part is how many times some
of those things are shared and passed on. We will look at the ones that are
not as blatantly ridiculous, and so
are harder to discern. I suspect all of us have, without realizing
it, shared or "liked" memes (or quotes) that said things we really
didn't mean or that were contrary to the word of God. As Christians, we need to think about what we say
and share in social media and on our blogs since we are representing
Jesus Christ.
We'll also be looking at some memes that have
more useful messages. Some memes do give us
something worthwhile, but sometimes, in the overload of information, we
miss the point or don't stop to ponder it. The fast pace of social
media is not geared toward contemplation of ideas.
