Which of the following is NOT listed as a core principle to keep faith with the prime directive?

• A. Amplify the message not the medium
• B. Be digitally discerning, not digitally daring
• C. Measure your followers as the measure of success
• D. Use digital engagement to produce analog discipleship

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how to stay faithful to the prime directive in digital ministry by following practical guiding principles. The statement about measuring your followers as the measure of success isn’t aligned with those principles. Focusing on follower counts tends to reward popularity rather than meaningful impact, and it can pull efforts away from genuine disciple-making and faithful communication.

The other principles that are emphasized promote substance over style, prudent use of digital tools, and turning online engagement into real-life growth. Amplifying the message rather than the medium keeps integrity in the forefront, ensuring the core truth isn’t sacrificed for flashy tech. Being digitally discerning, not digitally daring, encourages thoughtful, ethical use of platforms rather than chasing every trend. Using digital engagement to produce analog discipleship ties online activity directly to tangible, offline spiritual development.
