Things I don't like: When people put their prayers to God in their Facebook status. I see it every day. It seems to me exactly what the Pharisees did - praying their prayers out loud for everyone to hear to puff themselves up. I know the intentions may be good (maybe...) but this has to stop.
5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
-Matt 6:5,6 NIV
And I shouldn't need to tell you the harm this can cause to people who are basing their knowledge of Jesus on your life. I say this in love.
Seeking rebuke-in-return here. Feel free.
edit: To clarify, I don't think there's anything wrong with praising God in your status, asking for prayer requests in your status, or generally theming your status about things above. It's a good thing.
