Understanding WORSHIP 3

The WORD Technology

Worship is a daily activity because it is a lifestyle. Like I said in my previous message, worship has to do with the way you talk, how you dress, what you eat and how you eat, your character, and your relationship with God which glorify God. The word of God is spirit and life(John 6:63). The word of God is also the power of God(Romans 1:16). This shows that you cannot worship God without the word because you need God's power to live your life in spirit and in truth(John 4:24).
There are two types of God's word: the written word and the spoken word. But our focus here is the written word and the impacts of technology. The 10 commandments tablet was the written word of God given to Moses on Mount Sinai. This book of the law was very significant in the Jewish worship to God in the Old Testament era. The Israelites were to live their lives by the ten commandments, like Joshua said, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". This statement explains well the significance of the 10 commandments tablet in the people's worship to God. The stone tablet was their own Holy Bible. They would take the tablet, read it, meditate and do what was written there. The Priest always took the stone tablet and read the commandments to the people to remind them. There was no substitute to the stone tablet. Today, the Holy Bible, phones, Ipad, and laptop computer Bible applications are all impacts of technology, but let me remind you that Ipad, computer systems and Phones are not books. The Holy Bible is a book. It is our own book of the law which must not depart from us-Joshua 1:8. The Holy Bible has the power and life of God which Bible applications in computer devices do not have. And the easiest way to know this is that you cannot carry phones, Ipad or computer laptop to heal a sick person, cast out demons or raise the dead, even though there are Bible applications inside. Why you can't afford substituting the Holy Bible with bible in computer devices is the power and the life of God which you need to worship God in spirit and in truth on daily basis.

The word technology can be read as:

"Take Knowledge"

People forsake knowledge of God through technology....It takes knowledge
