Cell Phone vs. Bible: A Thought-Provoking Comparison | Lisa's Reflections

[Lisa/ChefBear]

This was on a BB for another Co. I sell for and this caught my eye. Thought I'd share. This really makes me think and look at my cell phone a lot differently.......

Cell phone vs. Bible

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?


What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?


What if we flipped through it several time 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 traveled?


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 cell 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!

If you have an iPhone, your cell phone CAN be your bible

So true!! I have been analyzing how I need to spend more time in the Bible.

Hi Lisa, you hit this right on!! Sadly some kids have never opened a bible, but they've all opened a cell phone.

I am proud to say, my son will cry when he forgets his Bible at home, but has little clue what a cell phone is.

I don't know if this will work on this site. If it doesn't and you would like me to send it to you.. I have it on e-mail. Ginger (Sorry some of my posts are so long)

I tried to add a Bible "select a verse" on here and it did not work It is a list of all teh bible verses.. you just click on the verse you want to look at. Again.. I can e-mail this to anyone interested. It's pretty cool.. you probably know about it.. but just in case..

My baby boy calls it leaving the house armed. After all, the Word of God is part of the Sword in the armor of God.

Ginger,
WOW, I'm going to print these and keep around for a quick check list when I'm feeling or going through something that's on that list.

Thanks again,
