Find WordJourney On Twitter!

WordJourney Magazine is active on Twitter, in fact Matt Keegan operates three accounts on this popular social media microblogging site. Matt’s other accounts deal with his writing and automotive industry work, while his Twitter WordJourney account reflects what he writes here on there.

Importantly, Matt enjoys retweeting what others have to say especially if he can help out a ministry, someone in need, sharing an encouraging word.

So, why use Twitter? For a number of reasons including:

Connect with other believers. Yes, our face to face time with fellow Christians is still important. In fact, we should be gathering together regularly as outlined in Hebrews 10:25 “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Your local body needs you and you need them. Still, it is certainly nice when like minded people tweet together too!

Share the gospel. For the most part, Matt connects with other believers. However, a number of people are not so selective, seeking to interact with those Twitter users who aren’t following the Lord. A well timed tweet, a sensitive word could minister to one of Jesus’ wayward sheep.

Inform others. This is the single, biggest reason why WordJourney has a presence on Twitter: to inform other Christians as to what is going on out there. Matt has been concentrating on letting believers know what is going on with the persecuted church, sharing ministry news, forwarding prayer requests, and more. Sometimes this world can be a lonely place, especially for those who are isolated, often not at their own choosing – “Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” (Hebrews 13:3)

Have fun. In this entertainment crazy world, a little tweeting can go a long way. Seek the Lord on how best to use Twitter for his glory as well as your personal enjoyment. Like any, Twitter can become a time waster, but it can also be used to advance God’s kingdom. Ask the Lord to guide you.

As always, WordJourney thanks you for stopping by. Feel free to leave a comment, ask a question or share a tweet.
