Church and smartphones
I
once joked on this blog about a church in the near future where
there will be no bible.I mean no paper bible,a church where
everything is electronic. A church where the pastor reads his sermon
from his Ipad, the church members read hymns from their
android,blackberry or windows smartphones. That kind of church is not
far from reality or am I permitted to say it is here afterall you can
download a bible application on any of the afore-mentioned devices
and the hymns are just texts aren't they?
Then
I stop to think that I have really gone to church with this in mind
one time or the other;my phone equipped with a bible application
(kjv, niv whatever) and the hymn book carefully downloaded in a
directory on my phone. I reminisce on one of these particular
occasions and I then ask myself the question- Is it right?
When
you have your phone with you during church service(especially if it
is not in airplane mode) there are many distractions-a mail,a
breaking news,the list goes on. This of course will cause
distractions, hence the inability to focus completely on the
speaker,pastor,or what have you. Some might just say their bible app
has to connect to the internet to download each verse upon request
but then there is that opportunity for anything to creep in afterall
your phone is on.
It
is no longer news that smartphones and related technologies have come
to stay neither is it that I condemn using mobile tablets in church
but then we should evaluate ourselves and try to discover what is
good for us.
Furthermore,I
will like to not that some churches now paste small bills on their
walls reading as
such:
Off
your phone and Switch to the network of God.
I
don't know if they are entirely right on this issue but then it is
not new to find people chatting and surfing the net during church
services(I think everyone with a smartphone is guitly of this).
Lastly,we
have lost the precious human relationship we used to have due to
smartphones,these days we prefer to chat online,make video calls
rather than walking down the road or driving that mile to have a
personal chat with someone else. As if that was not enough is it
rather disgusting to be present physically with someone and all they
can do is chat with another person and in the end they ask you,”What
were you saying?”. That is what we do to people now we are doing it
to God.
God
Bless.
