Where are the Lovers of Christ?

Someone help me understand this!
How is it possible for a born again believer to have a Facebook page, be active on it, and never speak one word about Christ?
These are the last days there isn't must time left to spread the gospel or encourage the saints. God has given this amazing opportunity to speak of Him to the entire world from our living rooms and yet so many believers never speak of Him.
This is a big red flag for me.
I do understand that some are not called to use Facebook, they are just not led as I am not led but do other things. However, if someone does have a Facebook page and never speaks about Christ this is evidence that they write about what they love or even worse they are ashamed of Christ.
2 Corinthians 13:4-6 "…4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you. 5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you— unless you actually fail the test? 6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.…"
Those who do not speak of the Lord on Facebook, often put up political banter being conservatives. How could anyone who loves the Lord be more involved in thinking about politics than they do about the Lord Jesus Christ Who died for them?
Mark 12:30-31 "30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”…"
Doesn't it make sense that we would talk about that which we love more than anything else?
Because there are so many pretenders in the church we see these pew warmers ignoring conversation about Christ while spending much time on the things of this world.
We speak about that which we love, that's how it works.
Malachi 3:16-17 "16 At that time those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD listened and heard them. So a scroll of remembrance was written before Him regarding those who feared the LORD and honored His name.17“ They will be Mine,” says the LORD of Hosts, “on the day when I prepare My treasured possession. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.…"
Anyone who calls themselves Christian and would be angry at this post is proving what I am saying. Born again believers do not become angry at a correction or chastisement, they pray about it to see if it is true and then make adjustments in their lives.
Anger at truth is a sure sign there is an angry spirit of rebellion within those who respond in angst.
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
2 Timothy 4:7
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
Fighting the good fight of faith and finishing the race having obeyed God is not for "preachers" only, it is for every born again believer, every single one ought to be doing something in obedience to the Lord in these last days.
I remember a few gatherings I have been involved with over the years that had coffee time before the service. In these gatherings, all that was spoken of was the ball games or politics. Almost nothing was said having to do with Jesus Christ.
The ritual of attending a gathering, singing some songs, and listening to a short sermon seems a lot to me like the Catholic churches I attended before I was born again.
The people went to "fulfill their obligation" but never spoke of the Lord outside that mass. The same things happen in the evangelical churches. They have the songs, the prayer for problems in the group, and a short sermon. But sadly there was no talk of Christ outside the rituals and the sermon.
Finally; What we love we speak about often!
Just saying!
