Social networks are here to stay.
They can be a big waste of time or they inspire our creativity and be used for good.
Pinterest is one of the most popular. It “hit 10 million unique monthly views faster than any standalone site in U.S. history.”(1)
There are many reasons Pinterest is appealing.
1. We love pictures (they're worth 1000 words, after all).
2. We love learning new things.
3. We appreciate easy ways to store the information we gather.
But most of all, I think Pinterest is popular because it gets our creative juices flowing and we are creatively-wired beings, made in the image of the Creator God.
"God created mankind in his own image...male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27
Like any social network, Pinterest can be used for bad purposes, but it provides a creative (and easy) way to share the Gospel when we pin Christian devotions, images and quotes.
If you use social networks, "make the most of every opportunity" to use them for the Kingdom of God (Ephesians 5:16)!
