Is Facebook a blessing to the Church or a curse?
Has Facebook become a tool to proselytize without calling it that?
The Church of Me!
What do you think?
Some seem to blatantly use it, while others seem more subtle...

I heard a report the other day that FB has excellent facial recognition and that the FBI uses FB more than their own files.

On the other hand I think the internet has been a great blessing for the church. Without spending hardly any money at all a church can present to anybody searching a wealth of information and ministry that just a few years ago would have cost thousands upon thousands of dollars in printing cost, radio or tv airtime, etc, etc.

Bingo! We've had a number of visitors come to our church because of what's been called "FB Evangelism."
There's a UPC church which uses FB as an outreach tool as well, and they've seen good results from it.

I've noticed that some church people on FB don't seem to want to actually talk to me. They seem more like they wanted to friend me so they can post at me. LOL!

Most use it for passive drive by evangelism.
