Mobile 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 time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

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?

This is something to make you go...hmm...where is my Bible?

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.

Silver Ring Thing

Silver Ring Thing is a US-based sexual abstinence program which encourages young adults to remain celibate until marriage. Inscribed on the ring is a Bible verse. The verse is 1Thessalonians 4:3-4 and it states "God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor." The rings are tokens of their vow, a reminder of their decision to remain celibate.

In recent news there has been a UK teenage girl who has been told not to wear her ring at school because it goes against the school dress code. Lydia Playfoot took her case to wear the ring to the High Court claiming that her school was discriminating against her by not allowing the wearing of a purity ring.

I was quite interested when I saw this on the News because I had heard of the Silver Ring Thing before this and never knew of many other Christians in the UK that were aware or even had the Ring. I personally don't have the Ring because of the decision that I don't need a material use to maintain my beliefs however I'm not saying that people shouldn't wear it - I'm actually really encouraged that they do and I think it is amazing, at the end of the day it's a personal choice. It crossed my mind though that if this issue has reason then how about the idea of people wearing necklaces with crosses on??

A song describing what's on my heart...

It's all about You, Jesus
And all this is for You
For Your glory and your fame
It's not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God And I surrender to your ways

Jesus, lover of my soul
All consuming fire is in Your gaze
Jesus, I want you to know
I will follow you all my days
For no one else in history is like you
And history itself belongs to you
Alpha and Omega, You have loved me
And I will share eternity with You
