D&C 19:29-30 -- On Glad Tidings

"And thou shalt declare glad tidings, yea, publish it upon the mountains, and upon every high place, and among every people that thou shalt be permitted to see.
And thou shalt do it with all humility, trusting in me, reviling not against revilers."
D&C 19:29-30


I really like this, and what it made me think of was social media.  Social media isn't pure evil, of course.  Like most forms of communication, it can be used for good or evil.  I think though, because it is so much more public and participatory than many other forms of communication, that we don't all understand how to protect ourselves, or really how to behave ourselves in such a public forum where our audience is often much bigger than we imagine... and these verses offer some down to earth guidance.  Focus on declaring and publishing glad tidings... and revile not against revilers. :)  Such good advice. :)

Today, on social media and elsewhere in our lives, let's take some advice from God and focus on glad tidings and refrain from reviling against revilers.  Let's build people up and be the good people that we truly want to be.
