What kind of image do you cast?

James 3:1

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

I am friends with a number of teachers, both in public schools and private schools.  My son goes to a private school currently however we are not sure if he will continue to go there after this year.  Right now he is in Pre-K so we are trying to decide if we want to continue the drive (30 min one way) to take him there or allow him to go to public school in our district. 

My husband and I have been talking about this and finding that while we love what is taught in my son’s school, we feel very frustrated with the life style the teachers live and post all over social media.  While each has a right to their own private life, when posting these things all over social media, especially when friends with parents that have kids at the school, it gives a negative perspective of that person and ultimately, the school they work for.

This got me thinking that as Christians, we too are held to a higher standard than that of non-Christians.  It is my prayer that the things that I post will leave others with a positive perspective of me and what it means to be a Christian. 


Would others know that you are a Christian by what you post to Social Media?
