Brothers and Sisters,
Is it common for your congregation to read the Word during services with a smartphone or tablet or some other device with a screen? For me, I have a tablet that has the Bible on it but have never felt right to bring it to Church.
As technology grows, will our children have the discipline to dive into God's Word with a smartphone or tablet? Or will it be too much of a distraction?
As a side note, I have a couple of sayings/beliefs that I believe hold some merit.
1.) You know a Church by it's lost and found and how many Bibles are found in it.
2.) As the pastor gives the chapter and verse for the sermon ahead, you know a church by how loud it gets with the sound of page-turning.
Nothing written above is dogmatic but just something to think about (and I would like to read what you think).
In closing, I pray that the Holy Spirit brings us conviction to grow us and discipline us to get in the Word... so that the "God of Peace" may equip us with what we need to bring Him Glory! Please pray for me and make Hebrews 13:20-21 your prayer and the prayer of your children.
In Christ,
Stu
