This is awesome! But where does it appear? I checked my Facebook wall after I posted today's Quiet Time and it wasn't there. It wasn't in notes either. This could be an great witnessing tool!

You need to set it up before it will work. You need to go to your account settings (this is the drop down under the "account" menu item which is on the far right of the navigation bar after you sign in). Then, click the Social Network tab and enable either Twitter or Facebook or both by logging your credentials and then choosing the updates you would like to have sent over.

I forgot to mention that I did set that up already. Sorry. Yeah, I checked both the notification that I did my Quiet Time, and my journal entry. The notification appeared, but by journal entry did not. I marked the journal entry for "Friends" not "Private" as well.

The page for Facebook says it can't be found. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, mine says "page cannot be found" as well. I changed my profile setting from friends to public and that didn't help. I would really like to get this application to work so our teens can see how nicely the online quiet time can work with the social networks they already use. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about it myself. What an easy way to encourage others by sharing your dedication to personal time with God each day!

I am simply having a problem with my Journal it will not come up, at all. Can some help?

I am having a problem connecting with Facebook. I go to the Accounts section and then click on the facebook tab, but then it comes up saying the Facebook page cannot be found. Any ideas? This page did not give me a place to "login" a second time to "authorize" it to access facebook. Thak you for any help you could give me on this.

Eileen, I emailed WOL about this same issue. Apparently Facebook took away their ability to link up shortly after the tab was put on the WOL website. They are waiting for their web page designers to remove the link. They did not say if Facebook would be available in the future. They also told me the person who manages the blog was on vacation, so I thought I'd respond to you. Hope this helps.

Thank you Ruey for this information. That's too bad that Facebook did this. I do hope they will reconsider in the future. Thank you for taking time to find this information and then respond back to me.

Just a thought: Matt 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

Hey everyone, i apologize for the inconvenience with Facebook. They are being a little difficult for us to work with right now. We still don't even have a clear answer from them as to why they shut us off. At any rate, we are in the appeal process with them and hope to have it restored in the future.

@Jesse - thanks for your comment as well. I don't want to put any words in your mouth, but I am assuming you are wondering if it is really a good idea to even have these social connectors in light of Matthew 6:6 which tells us to pray in secret. I think that's a great question and certainly worthy of thought and discussion. I've thought that through a bit myself and here's the conclusion I've come to...

In the full context of Matthew 6, Jesus was teaching his disciples to have the right motivation when they do good things (charitable acts, pray, etc.) He's careful to point out in verse one that we should not do good deeds before other men in order to be seen by them. The "in order to be seen by them" is crucial. That's motivation, that's heart attitude. If you're doing stuff (hooking your QT up to Facebook or whatever) in order for others to see you and you hope they'll think you're extra spiritual, then yeah, that is definitely wrong.

But the question is, is it always wrong? For every person? I don't think so. I think you can do it with a right heart attitude and it's a great thing. Think about this. If we were to blanket apply this statement that Jesus made to every kind of prayer, we would never pray in church, we would never pray with our spouse, we would never pray with our kids, we would never pray in Congress and we would never pray for a meal. So I don't think this passage means that we should never ever pray before others. I think it deals with the heart and that we should never pray before others "in order to be seen by others." Even Jesus himself prays later in the very chapter before other people...actually in order to teach them.

So in conclusion (and i really didn't mean to write a whole sermon :) ) Could someone hook their QT to Facebook in order to be seen of men in a legalistic sort of way? Yes of course. But you can take ANY tool and be legalistic with it... even the Bible itself can be used legalistically. Is it also possible to hook our QT to Facebook with right motives in a way that pleases the Lord? Sure. We share everything else on our Facebook... sports, the weather, Farmville.... Why not start talking about something that matters.... Like prayer, like what I read in God's Word today, like how I'm growing, like encouraging others to grow too. Can you do all that on Facebook by sharing various aspects of your Quiet Time? I think so.

Thanks for your feedback, Nathan. And you didn't put words in my mouth, that's exactly what I was wondering. I'm certainly not against sharing with people the things that you love, but I think what you said at the end of your last paragraph really summarizes my concern. My first exposure to this wasn't a tweet that said, "Let me tell you what God's been teaching me..." it was "So-and-so did their quiet time." It's a subtle difference, but the latter emphasizes the doing of the thing while the former emphasizes the lessons learned in the interaction. It's the difference between saying, "I just read Hamlet" and "Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's greatest works". I know it's hard to make that distinction with 140 characters and a tiny attention span, but just wanted to encourage your team to be thinking about it. :) God bless!

Hi again! Awesome to see the social connectors working again! I have a feature request, though... What if a "Share" button was added next to the wrench icon at the top of the Journal entry window? This way you could go back to previous QT entries and choose to share them, or choose whether or not you want to post the current day's entry on Facebook or Twitter despite your QT Online privacy settings. Thanks again for such a great web app!
