Newsletter 15 March 2020 | ISSUE: 568 “A mobile phone is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make and receive calls and to send text messages, among other features” [taken on 24 Dec. 2019 from www.techopedia.com]. Some people just call them “a mobile” (without adding the word “phone”). In other locations, such devices are called “hand phones,” “cell phones,” or “cellular telephones.” The amazingness of mobile phones – While it would be untrue to declare that every person in the world possesses a cellular phone, their widespread us- age and influence is phenomenal. Those who lived and died in the pre-mobile phone periods of history would be astounded if they could be transported to our time and observe mobile phones in action. Like money, mobile phones and all other forms of telephones are neither inherently godly nor ungodly devices. They are a material object, period. A person might use one of them in a fashion which pleases the Lord, or he might use it in a way that the Creator consid- ers to be evil. In terms of perspective, mobile phones are not the Savior of the world, but neither are they “the mark of the beast.” The potential benefit which mobile phones can bring to our lives – I possessed my first mobile phone ten years ago this month when a brother placed one in my hand and basi- cally told me, “Use it.” Ready or not, a mobile phone became a part of my daily life. Mobile phones are wonderful for communication. Back in the pre-mobile phone days, one had to wait until he could find a stationary phone in a private or public place. Not anymore. Mobile phones, if one has available service, are an extremely conven- ient way of communicating. That is one of their biggest plusses. MEMORY VERSE Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditaon all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me.

“A mobile phone is a wireless handheld device
that allows users to make and receive calls and to send
text messages, among other features” [taken on 24 Dec.
2019 from www.techopedia.com]. Some people just
call them “a mobile” (without adding the word
“phone”). In other locations, such devices are called
“hand phones,” “cell phones,” or “cellular telephones.”
The amazingness of mobile phones – While it
would be untrue to declare that every person in the
world possesses a cellular phone, their widespread us-
age and influence is phenomenal. Those who lived and
died in the pre-mobile phone periods of history would
be astounded if they could be transported to our time
and observe mobile phones in action.
Like money, mobile phones and all other forms of telephones are neither inherently
godly nor ungodly devices. They are a material object, period. A person might use one of
them in a fashion which pleases the Lord, or he might use it in a way that the Creator consid-
ers to be evil. In terms of perspective, mobile phones are not the Savior of the world, but
neither are they “the mark of the beast.”
The potential benefit which mobile phones can bring to our lives – I possessed my
first mobile phone ten years ago this month when a brother placed one in my hand and basi-
cally told me, “Use it.” Ready or not, a mobile phone became a part of my daily life.
Mobile phones are wonderful for communication. Back in the pre-mobile
phone days, one had to wait until he could find a stationary phone in a private or public
place. Not anymore. Mobile phones, if one has available service, are an extremely conven-
ient way of communicating. That is one of their biggest plusses.
MEMORY VERSE
Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.
You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all
my teachers, For Your testimonies are my medita-
tion.
