A Blog of Biblical Proportions

Many devout Christians worry about the influence of media on one’s spirit. This is especially true of social media sites. When visiting places like MySpace and YouTube, it is possible to inadvertently see anything. After all, people can post whatever they want, with very little oversight. With this concern for the type of media that we consume, it is little surprise that many Christians are finding refuge in social media sites aimed at those of the Christian faith. This allows those with Christian values to connect to like-minded people from around the world. Here are 25 social media sites for Christians:
