With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

One of the worst ways social media has changed us is this temptation to constantly perform.

News feeds turn almost every part of our lives, family work, personal thoughts, workouts,

into potential content.

The holidays only make this temptation worse.

Jesus told His followers to do their good deeds in secret when you give to the needy,

sound no trumpet, he said.

When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

that your giving may be in secret, and your father, who season secret, will reward you.

Our lives are a performance, but only for an audience of one who indwells us and makes

our obedience possible.

We don't need to consistently exhibit our wins to others like the perfect Thanksgiving

meal, Christmas experience, or parenting moment.

Pause advice.

To aspire to live a quiet life still applies today, even in the age of social media.
