Read an interesting article by Handheld devices distract you from worship.
Yes, and we shouldn’t take that lightly, especially when it’s as easy and tempting to click over to ESPN.com as BibleGateway. But for me at least, the core problem is in my head, not in my hands: my own trains of thought are the biggest threat to my attentiveness in worship. I thought this was just a modern, television-era problem, but then I came across a book called A Remedy for Wandering Thoughts in the Worship of God. It was first published in the year 1673.
There’s also a chance that a handheld device can enhance attentiveness, keeping a worshiper focused on the passage or, via BibleGateway or a Bible iPhone app (a few of which I plan to review in a future post), delving deeper into it with cross-references, Hebrew or Greek roots, or other study tools. And Twittering is just another way—potentially a more dynamic and communal way—to take notes.
Check out the entire article here. Thoughts???
