Is It Right For Pastors To Use Gadget As Bible While Preaching? by terrymason(m): 6:22pm On Oct 12, 2014
Good day NL and hope your day was awesome.
Today in my church an invited minister from another parish came to give sermon with an galaxy tab, I was surprise cause I taught the bible have a spiritual blessing attach to it.
Please NL is it right, cause for me those gadget can make one lost focus by checking other stuff instead of the bible(while still in church).

I don't think anything is wrong, it's technological advancements and using what God has blessed our brains with.

Moses received the ten commandments on stone tablets but Jesus read the book of Isaiah from a scroll in Luke 14:17. I'm sure if they had emails then Paul and the other apostles won't bother writing on scrolls, they'll just send their letters to the Corinthians, Ephesians... via emails kpa kpa kpa.

But me still prefer my hardcover bible o!

its like saying preaching to someone via social network is a sin

Of course it is a sin just as is wearing a suit; they should be donning animal skins and eating wild fruits and locusts like John the Baptist

In my own view it can serve as easy distraction, as it loaded with different stuff not just bible.

Just like you load your mind all sorts too. You think everybody is listening to the Pastor? Some are day dreaming of the jollof rice and chicken they'll have for lunch, some of them are busy judging what other people are wearing, some others are recalling all sorts of different memories. So I ask you should people leave their minds at home before coming to church because it is filled with other things?

Good write up, but what you see and what you think are two different things. Seeing a app on your gadget might be tempting unlike thinking of it. Though it depends on the individual.

Yes it depends on the individual and in this case a pastor preaching. Is he going stop in the middle of his message to check Facebook?

Cheaper electronics and cheaper more efficient power storage will sort it out.
