Bible paper or plastic. I use often use a Bible app on my Iphone. I have found that its a great way to always have a Bible at hand. At home I read a paper Bible but rarely carry one. I began using my phone more once my youngest was born and trying to get everyone to church meant the need to simplify in any way possible. Well that is until a few weeks ago. I had to take my wifes truck into service. I needed something to read and decided I would take my Bible and review notes from SS and the sermon the day before. I started on my phone and like most folks in the waiting area I gained little attention. I then reached in my backpack and pulled out my Bible. When I did an older gentleman said "I guess I better behave" followed by serveral of remarks and laughts. I was then asked if I was a preacher. I replied no. I was then asked if I was decon. I again replied no. Just a guy that loves Jesus that doesnt read this thing nearly enough. The next thing I know the waiting area had become a open discussion and a place to share my faith. I then realized all of the times Ive read my Bible in public on my phone I have never been able to share anything at all. For all anyone knows Im wasting time on Facebook or some type of forum. There is something powerful about the sound of pages rustling. I also thought about how my children need to see me turning pages more. They need to know that the Bible is important and relevant and that I need to read it for guidance, strength and hope. Time to quit being a phone surfer and get to a Bible thumper.
