Cell Phone vs. Bible

Freedom week was fabulous this year. I was so blessed by the services and by the fellowship. In the past I have often gone to Freedom Week or Ladies Retreat with the mindset that I was there to get something, not there to minister. This year at Freedom Week I really felt a shift in my life in regard to this. I did recieve wonderful things from God...things I really needed, but I also felt as if I was able to reach out and be a blessing to others also. It is a good feeling to be moving into a new place in God.

Bro. Lance preached 3 awesome messages and used this illustration in one of them. It was funny because I came home and told my mom about it and THAT DAY she got this email...coincidence?

CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bibles like we treat our cell 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 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. And no dropped calls!

Makes you stop and think 'Where are my priorities?'
