Thanks, but that is not my phrase to claim. I heard Bill Hybels say it first...he even wrote a book with that title!

I agree with all the "reasons" you presented above. I would also add another:

Holy Discontent

I started my Jesus-Centered business because I felt a compulsion that something needed to be done! I have met several Christians in the past few years who saw a need, knew they had a solution, and could not rest until they did something to solve the problem!

The church should absolutely be involved. We have to stay in touch with where people are if we are going to represent Jesus. I have "connections" and friendships via Twitter for example, with people I have never met. In some ways, it is the modern version of "pen-pals". Are these friendships "deep" - no. Yet, I have encouraged and been encouraged from many. I have learned and I have taught. So, social media certainly has value.

It all comes back to balance. Social media is not going away, so I say embrace it with balance!

I went through a few months of using Foursquare every time I was out about a year ago. I think with small groups of close friends it can be a lot of fun and you connect your lives more deeply because you know where everyone is all the time. My group of closest friends I tried this experiment with was primarily people in my small-group from church. I wrote about it here: http://bit.ly/eG9zkk

I agree, let's get it right. Shock for the sake of shock is not helpful. What we need to do is attract attention to the message not attention to the method - and there is a fine line. The challenge is to be so creative (which doesn't necessarily mean shocking) that people take notice so they see the message - which hopefully in a church's case points them to Jesus.
