Social media can be a real blessing and be used for good. But it can also be a curse and a cause for strife, offense and division and “every man doing what is right in their own eyes.”
As a glaring example, many people are correcting Creflo Dollar on his denouncement of tithing as only an Old Testament law and principle. Pastors seeking to protect their own turf, ministers seeking to protect their own projects funded by the tithes of their downlines of churches and sponsors, are offering their two cents worth.
This sort of correction is mostly out of context.
