What would happen if you treated your Bible like you treat your cell phone and…

…you couldn't live without it?

…you used it in case of an emergency?
…you carried it around in your purse or pocket?
…you turned back to go get it if you forgot it?
…you flipped through it several times a day?
…you used it to receive text messages?
…you gave it to kids as gifts?
…you used it as you traveled?
…you upgraded it to get the latest version?
And, unlike your cell phone, you would never worry about your Bible being disconnected; Jesus already paid the bill!
