CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE
I 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 times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to send and receive text messages from the Bible to each other? 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?
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 for life.
And, no dropped calls, no dead batteries, nowhere without a full signal, no monthly bills or limit on minutes, and, always in style!
Makes you stop and think, “Where are my priorities?”
