Social media was made to bring us together. But few things have driven us further apart.
Sadly, many Christians are fueling online incivility. Others, exhausted by perpetual outrage and shame-filled from constant comparison, are leaving social media altogether. So, how should Christians behave in this digital age? Is there a better way?
Daniel Darling believes we need an approach that applies biblical wisdom to our engagement with social media, an approach that neither retreats from modern technology nor ignores the harmful ways in which Christians often engage publicly. In short, he believes that we can and should use our online conversations for good.

"They must be among the most intimidating words Jesus ever spoke: I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak… Each one of us is responsible for our every word. In an age of ubiquitous and lightning-fast communication, we need to hear and heed this warning like never before, and for that reason, I'm thankful for Daniel Darling's call for both responsibility and civility in every word we speaknot to mention every word we write, blog, or tweet."
Tim Challies, blogger at challies.com and author of The Discipline of Discernment
"Daniel's thoughts on discernment show both humble self-examination and careful observation, not to mention pastoral sensitivity. Highly recommended for any Christian looking for guidance through the rocky terrain of online discourse!"
