One of the cool things about Twitter that is different from Facebook and MySpace is that with Twitter you don’t have to follow–let alone call a friend–those who follow you. You can block people after they start to follow you, but they don’t have to be approved by you in order to be able to follow you. Thus, when spammers and other undesirables follow you, if you don’t follow them back, your tweets are a one-way street for them. Your tweets show up on their page, but you won’t see a single tweet of theirs.

So if you tweet about the lordship of Jesus now and then, who knows what might become of it? As C.S. Lewis writes in Surprised by Joy,

“A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist [or pagan or agnostic] cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere — ‘Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,’ as Herbert says, ‘fine nets and stratagems.’ God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.”

If we think of our unbelieving followers as a mission field, our tweets can become fine nets and stratagems.

And yes, we have something to say!
