The more I interact with others on the various networking sites I belong to, the more I see the need for discernment. Most of us are here because we want to promote our latest book, or want to get more exposure for our writing efforts and maybe get that much sought after contract. Okay, fine. May I add a cautionary note, however? As Christians, (and I am assuming that you are a christian if you belong to this particular group) our first priority is to represent Christ. I have noticed, in my 'surfing travels' that not everyone who claims to know Christ has a solid understanding of scripture. I certainly do not claim to know it all - I am in progress, as are all of you. I have recently come across some rather alarming discussion, however. (Yes ... maybe even on this network ...) My advise is this: in our frenzy to promote books, be careful what you read and who you believe. There are probably just as many 'whackos' within the confines of these networking sites as are out there in the real world.
