Therefore by their tweets you will know them

I had the idea for this rephrasing of Matthew 7:20 when having a discussion about actions and beliefs in Sunday school. The background image is a full-page spread that the New York Times made of all the people, places, and things that Donald Trump had insulted on Twitter.

What do you think?ย Perhaps we should incorporate Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and other social media into not just our rendering of Bible verses, but also our proverbs. How about these?

โ€œTrust in Google with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.โ€

โ€œBad Facebook friends corrupt good character.โ€

โ€œActions speak louder than likes.โ€

โ€œThere is nothing snapchatted that wonโ€™t end up on Pinterest.โ€

โ€œGive someone an answer and youโ€™ll satisfy them for a day; give someone Wikipedia and youโ€™ll satisfy them for a lifetime.โ€

Can you think of others, whether improvements on these or different ones?
