The 10 Commandments of the Young Christian Web User


Teens today spend more time on the Internet than watching TV… I thought I’d draw up these ’10 Commandments’ as a guide to them, as they surf through dangerous cyber waters on the Web.


  1. Thou shalt beware that it’s easier to find evil on the Internet than good.
  2. Thou shalt not give thy personal details to anyone thou knowest not.
  3. Thou shalt bear in mind that on the Internet anyone can pretend to be somebody else, therefore increasing thy chances of being tricked. ‘Friend’ on a social site may in fact be an enemy.
  4. Thou shalt flee from sites whose content doesn’t build you up, just like Christians should avoid places that are not beneficial to their faith.
  5. Thou shalt avoid people who flirt with thee online like the plague.
  6. Thou shalt not set up ‘dates’ via the Internet with people thou knowest not. Remember thou the third commandment.
  7. Thou shalt remember that whatsoever thou revealest of thy life on the Internet, as well as thy words and behavior, are being watched by others – and are therefore thy testimony.
  8. Thou shalt not spend hours on end surfing the net mindlessly, at the expense of thy other responsibilities. Remember thou that there is life outside the Internet too.
  9. Thou shalt not look at pornography on the Internet, under any excuse. Thou shalt keep thy mind, thy eyes, and thine heart.
  10. Thou shalt be a force for good on the Internet and not an accomplice of evil.

Pass these 10 Commandments on to every friend, nephew, son, daughter, parent, teacher, youth leader you know!
