The other day I was sitting down studying scripture on my iPhone when my 5 year old walked up to me and asked, “Dad what game are you playing”?
I answered him and said, “I’m not playing a game bud, I am reading the Bible”. He responded and said “that’s not a Bible dad, that’s a phone”.
So it was at that moment that I realized that even though I am studying the Bible, I just might want to re-think how I worship on a daily basis during my *not always so quiet* quiet time at home. 🙂
Technology is a GREAT tool that grants us access to many ways to learn and grow in our walk with Jesus. However…It has become a new challenge for me to start using my real, physical, Bible when I am studying at home. I don’t want my kids to grow up saying “dad was always on his phone all the time”, unaware that I was actually reading the scriptures. Even though a lot of those times I was indeed, studying and learning how to teach my kids about the Gospel, I would much rather them grow up remembering how I was “always reading the Bible” instead.
Just a little moment that I wanted to share with you, cause it has made a difference in how I spend my *not always so quiet* quiet time.
Is worshipping via technology setting a questionable example in your home?
