I think it was really good. It is as we spoke before, facebook is a lot of fun and it's helpful with some communication and connectivity. It is, but never as a substitute for real community--if we can help it!
BTW..I listened to Keller's raising kids in the city.. It was good, I know what he's saying but I definitely disagree with some things he was saying, like "I don't know if some of my kids would have embraced the Christian faith if it wasn't for raising them in a city." What!! Anyway, I think the best paragraph from the facebook post on the Bayly blog was this:
"As it turns out, intimacy has amazing staying power. Like authority, intimacy refuses to die. It's an absolute mass that neither grows nor diminishes. When banned where God designed it to be, intimacy moves to where it shouldn't exist. Which is to say that, just as they did in the days of the Apostle Paul, Christians have intimacy today, but it's indecent, deceptive, and adulterous. When we refuse to be intimate with our pastors and elders and deacons and Titus 2 women and our brothers and sisters with whom we worship on Lord's Day mornings, we turn to texting, movies, Tweets, and Facebook."

So, what do you think of that post?
Hey Ben,
