PITFALLS OF MULTI-TASKING

by Pastor Dave Gemmell

I was traveling down the road when the car in front of me braked rather abruptly. As I slammed on my brakes I felt my iPhone, laptop, and burrito slide down my legs to the floor. I concluded that in the future I should concentrate a little more on my driving and a little less on multitasking.

Which of the following have you done while driving?
Talked on your cell phone?
Map quested?
Text Messaged?
Put on make-up?
Combed your hair?
Eaten your breakfast?
Changed a diaper?

Driving a car takes mental focus and distractions cause accidents. Private worship takes spiritual focus and distractions and negligence cause spiritual falls. Over the years I’ve discovered that for quality Bible study, meditation and prayer, I’ve got to turn off the TV, radio, phone, and shut the door to fully to see God. What works for you?

TXT ME

by Pastor Rajkumar Dixit

Did you know 94% of 18-24 year olds send personal texts and 34% of those aged between 18-24 send 36 or more messages a week. Over 70% of mobile phone users send text messages.

It seems that in the fast paced life we live in, even our conversations are becoming abbreviated. I don’t know about you, but I would much rather email than talk on the phone. And I would rather text message than email. What does that say about our society today? How do we convey the gospel in a way that people are used to communicating? While the message never changes, the means of transporting the message must!

Today we are beginning an exciting teaching series called, TXT ME. If the apostle Paul were to communicate with his young protégé Timothy, how would he have done so in today’s culture? We think he may have texted his messages. During this series we are going to be taking a deep look at scripture: 1 Timothy. So please read the passage before you come to church, and let’s begin a dialogue.

I am looking forward to starting this journey with you.

peace,
