The other morning a mobile phone rang disrupting a church service I was attending. It wasn’t the first time and I doubt it will be the last. I remember a particular funeral where one mans’ phone rang at least 3 times… Poor man had just received a new ‘phoe and couldn’t work out how to turn it off.

People talk on the phone while at a check out, and at the movies. The practice is so prevalent that there are announcements made at the beginning of movies and, even in church services, to “please turn off your mobile phones.” People text while driving and text while at the movies … or out to dinner, or visiting friends.

A Facebook post I read this week was particularly apt. Did you “ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our mobile phone? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? 

What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it? 

What if we gave it to Kids as gifts? 

What if we used it when we travelled?

What if we used it in case of emergency? 



This is something to make you go… “Hmm – where is my Bible?” Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our mobile phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being 
Disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls! When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!

Incidentally, I have downloaded the bible onto my iPhone… Workwise I need to have my mobile phone with me… personally I need the word of God!

Many Blessings
