Social media needs a little more love in it. I figured, since there was already a great source of info on the topic, I’d update it for the needs of social media. So here it is: 1 Corinthians 13, updated for social media.

If I post the greatest links and memes, but do not post in love, I am only an annoying ring tone or a dial-up modem. If I have the gift of grammar and can accurately distinguish between there, they’re, and their, and if I have political views that can fix the world’s problems, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I sell essential oils and It Works™ to my friends, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Good posts are gracious, good posts are kind. They do not envy, they do not provoke angry debate, they are not proud. They do not dishonor others, they are not self-seeking, they are not easily angered, they won’t be embarrassing when seen by future employers. Good posts do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. They always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.

And now these three remain: Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. But the greatest of these is love.
