    EVANGELISM

    Happy Sabbath everyone! I’m glad to worship God together with you this morning. For this Sabbath
    morning, I am tasked to promote evangelism.

    The use Facebook and other social media such as Instagram, SnapChat, and Tiktok in our ministry is
    not new to us. With this social media we can share Bible verses and inspirational quotes so that other
    users may read it and be inspired and encourage to live on even amid the crisis that we are facing.
    Some even have reminisced their camping experiences and wish that this “new normal” would
    hopefully halt. Some even have posted how much they yearn for the physical congregational singing
    in the church especially when they sing this very inspiring and powerful song entitled “We have this
    hope” .

    I don’t know if you have heard of the story of Brenda Matos – a 21 year old Brazilian Adventist woman
    who used Tiktok for sharing Biblical messages wherein her fist recorded video reached 40,000 views
    and afterwhich thousands began to follow her videos in Tiktok. The same thing can be done to other
    platforms. if you’re on Facebook, you can post text-based messages of hope or perhaps an infographics
    which is quiet appealing to the younger population. In this morning however, I believe that there is no
    need for me to promote the use of social media for ministerial purposes – almost everyone knows how
    we can use it for ministerial purposes.

    However, I am here to promote Christian lifestyle to be practiced online. Just like many of you, during
    the pandemic, I also spent a heavy screen time on Facebook alone and it is quiet disappointing that
    professed believers of our denomination are engaged into “flaming”. When we say flaming, it is a
    colloquial term referring to posting insults, often laced with profanity or other offensive language on
    networking sites. Just imagine, you go to church every Sabbath, many of your non-Adventist colleagues
    know that you are Adventist and yet, in the virtual realm, none of your posts and comments would
    point you to your claimed identity. As per data and personal observation, many of us take our
    discouragements and disappointments to social media, we are sometimes engaged with flaming
    against the government and against individuals, posting derogatory comments here and there, etc.
    These unrefined manners would weaken that identity that you claim and therefore also weakens your
    personal evangelism. May we always bear in mind that whether virtual or physical realm, we should
    have the same mindset as Jesus Christ - A mindset that is wholly bent on saving souls through
    evangelism.
    SCRATCH

    During the quarantine, the basic entertainment that most of us have had is via social media – be it
    Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tiktok. I find it funny that some sermons that I’ve heard during the
    pre-COVID years naa gyud nay line that goes something like this: “Cge lag Facebook wala nay nihimong
    trabaho” which is, in a sense, true. But with the advent of this pandemic, common lines that we can
    now hear is “Follow our FB page or Like and Subscribe to our Youtube channel”. With this we can say
    that to some degree, this pandemic has done us good in a sense that technology is now considered as
    a salient feature of every ministry we can think of.

    Talking of social media, or socmed in short, it is inevitable not to talk about Facebook because as we all
    know, it as an avant-garde among st all social media available within the Philippine soil. It is a common
    platform for posting our rants, our comments to the government – which is most of the times very
    derogatory, and well a lot of things. But, for those who are wise enough to discern that
