Fwd: The Bible versus Your Cell Phone
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: PATRICK KERR
The Bible Versus Your Cell Phone
Can you imagine what would happen if we treated our Bible the same way
we treat our cell phone?
If we always carried our Bible in our wallet, briefcase, on our belt,
or in our purse?
And if we looked through it several times a day?
And went back to look for it when we forget it at home or at the office?
And if we used it to send messages to our friends?
And acted like we couldn't live without it?
And gave it as a gift to our young ones, for their own protection, and
in order to stay in constant communication with them?
And took it with us whenever we travel, just in case of an emergency?
Unlike a cell phone, the Bible never loses it signal: We can connect
with it anywhere.
We don't have to worry about being low on minutes, because Jesus
already paid the bill, and the minutes are unlimited.
And, best of all, there are no dropped calls, and the battery never
loses its charge.
"Search for Jehovah, you people, while he may be found. Call to him
while he proves to be near." (Isaiah 55:6)
