		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever heard the story of Dorian Gray? If you have, feel free to skip to the next paragraph; if not, allow me to summarize. Dorian Gray was the only novel written by Oscar Wilde. His story followed the life of a young aristocrat, Dorian, who desired nothing more in life than to retain his youth and beauty. To do so, he met a painter and traded his soul for his beauty. The painter painted a picture that would age and change with the ravages of time, while Dorian himself never changed. Dorian then embarked on a life of debauchery in which he entertained his every whim and desire, and his painting was the only evidence of the destruction of his soul. After twenty years Dorian saw his painting which he normally kept hidden, and he was mortified to see the true state of his soul. He was so distraught that he took a knife and stabbed the painting, but when he stabbed the painting which displayed his corrupted soul, he actually killed himself.

The story of Dorian Gray is a remarkable parallel to the use of modern social medias. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Online Dating sites, and many other networks like them enable us to create an identity altered in the way we prefer. We have all learned to display that which is most beautiful and desirable about ourselves, while carefully shutting the door on our flaws. Like young Dorian, we can hide and distort those little things that we don't want others to know about. In short, the modern man is capable of reshaping his own image in the way that he desires irrespective of the total truth.

I am not trying to make the argument that social networking is wrong. Like all other things, the medium itself is not sinful, it is the way we put them to our use that brings forth the use of the terms right versus wrong. The application of the medium is the topic of my concern.

		<description><![CDATA[Sanctification is part of salvation. It is a great mistake to think of salvation as stage one in the Christian life and sanctification (or holiness, or obedience) as stage two. Salvation is the big biblical term that describes all God&#8217;s saving work for us and in us, past, present, and future. We &#8220;have been saved&#8221; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=1026&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a word... missionalism. The word missionalism, albeit made up, is meant to refer to a mindset and attitude for every person, church and entity which makes up the Southern Baptist Convention. The Great Commission Resurgence is about putting first Christ's mandate to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them. The tricky part is figuring out how to follow through on that command.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=632&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meaning has been lost in our culture today. This loss of meaning was brought forth by the loss of truth. Freidrich Neitszche is the father of nihilism, the philosophy which declares all things as meaningless. Many people today have difficulty finding meaning in their lives, and whether they know it or not, it is because they are slowly following down a dry and lonely path that leads to nihilism. The dominant perspective on truth in the western world today is one of relativism. By declaring truth relative, one essentially declares truth as nonexistent. This is how Nietszche understood the world, and he was dedicated enough to the pursuit of his philosophy to follow it wherever it led; in the end of his life, it led to insanity. He lost the will to live, because he knew that his life could hold no meaning. This should be a frightening example of where the erosion of truth can lead. Without truth there is no meaning, and without meaning there is no purpose.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=516&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
