Social Media and the Gospel: What is our response?

Matthew 5:14

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.



I saw this video, and immediately my thoughts went to the Gospel and social media as a medium. I was captivated by the video and wondered how effective social media is as a method by which the gospel can reach the lost? Will the Gospel be marginalized as an irrelevant advertisement? How can a believer take full advantage of such a medium? In a world of internet tough guys and anonymity, what does it mean to be salt and light?

Those statistics were astounding! What's interesting is I have no inclination to check them. I assume they are accurate even though they provide no evidence...
