Wi Fi Churches - Modern Churches?
This is how a Church Committee meetings went..
TREASURER : This year we have to raise funds to modernize our Church! Like,Push Back Seats, A Resting Room (To rest when we are tired of Worship), Wi Fi Inside the Church Hall.
SECRETARY : Bro Wi Fi is so important so that i can reply my business mails when at Church also!
PASTOR : Bro's Why not you all activate GPRS in your mobile as i have did in mine to reply my Mails when iam in Church?
COMMITTEE MEMBER 1 : WOW! I love to have have a Wi Fi Church! I Love to worship in a modern Church! I Pass This Idea Told by Treasurer!
COMMITTEE MEMBER 2 : I Second it!
PASTOR : Let's Go ahead!
This may be taken on a lighter side!
But i shared this here to tell something about the MOBILE or what you call as CELL PHONE!
I face this problem at least one time on every worship service. Some or the other mobile will either ring or beep taking everyones attention there!
People might come up with simple sayings as these are not issues Brother, we have a lot of other things to be done,then why do you wanna highlight simple issues like this!!
Let me say.. you may think its simple.. but its not!!! Few simple things which we take so easy are not to be taken that lightly!

When we come in to the Church or Presence of God! It should be with Fear, Reverence and with Respect!! Though He is our Friend, Brother, Saviour and Redeemer! He is our LORD! GOD! CREATOR! and our KING! We have to respect and Honor him not with only words! but also with our actions and doings!
It's even bad and sad to hear a cinema song or music as ring tone all of a sudden in a church!
Why do you and me wanna keep a secular song as our ring tone? or caller tune?
Why don't we put a nice gospel / Christian song as caller/Ring Tones?
If our office or place does not allow that! Why don't we simply use our default tones in our Mobile Phone rather using some cinema songs?
Now a days people don't carry their Bible, they have the bible software installed on their mobile phones!

So as soon as they step inside the church they switch on the Bibles on their Mobiles and Meditate and Mediate it till the end! Some fall asleep meditating it! Some slowly start playing games! some receive and send SMS, MMS etc!
Why should we allow devil to test us when we are at Church! could not we avoid these situations by carrying our real Bibles?
I had a believer who used to carry his Bible in Mobile when coming for Bible study! i asked him some time why don't you come to church with a Bible!
He said Pastor we are coming directly from office! His answer was genuine so i could not tell anything more than that!

And when he is at church ever 5 mins he himself will laugh and enjoy seeing his mobile phone!
First i thought he is mediating on the word and really enjoying the presence of God! But only later i knew why he was laughing? One day the person sitting next to him said you know Pastor what he does?? He sends SMS to his wife in India when he comes to Church and he laughs and enjoys the reply she sends and not by reading or meditating The Word! Sad! Really sad!

Will we ever use or keep our mobile phones on ringing mode when we enter a Phone restricted Business or secular area?
If our office manager or Chairman says don't use mobile within the office area or in office timings will be respect him? If we can respect our worldly leaders why not respect our LORD?
Now don't ask me have Lord or Jesus ever told in bible not to use mobile phones? Because i know many of us are wise and we can come up with any sort of questions as to justify our actions and deeds!
Please take this with a positive note!
Cant we give just 3 or 4 hours a week fully to him? without any any of these worldly matters coming i between!!!
Cant we completely tune our ears, hearts, mind and every single thing to Him when we at least come to Church?
Think my dear brothers and sisters!

Why cant we just switch off our mobile phone when we come to church meetings? If we say sorry we cant we get business or important calls which will cost many things,
why cant we at least make sure its in silent mode or in vibration so that it wont disturb others? These are simple things which you and me can always follow! Its not a doctrine or a commandment! But a simple decision through which we are honoring Lord! Honoring our Savior! Giving Him full time, mind, soul and heart at least when we are in Church!
Can we try this from today at least!
How many can say Amen to this?
May God bless You All!!!
Prayers!
