Would Jesus Tweet? (The Gospel of Innovation)

“’Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.’” (Isaiah 42:9) God is always innovating.

15 Social Media Mistakes You Might Make

It’s my two year birthday on Twitter. (Sorry, I couldn’t fit another candle on the cake.) I started “tweeting” two years ago this very day in 2008 ~ though I had no clue what “tweeting” meant at the time. (You didn’t either when you first started.) Now I’ve done it (tweeted) more than 3o,ooo times. […]
