Thought for the Day 6/19/2026

 Friday Tale ~ The 23rd Panel

The PHONE is my shepherd. My spiritual growth shall want.

It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for His name's sake, because it requireth all my spare time.

It keepeth me from doing my duty as a servant of Jesus Christ, because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see.

It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world, and keepeth me from the study of God's word. 

It leadeth me in the paths of failing to attend the ecclesial activities, and doing no work in God's vineyard.

Yea, though I live to be a hundred, I shall keep on viewing my PHONE as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion. Its sound and its picture, they comfort me.

It presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth me from doing important things with my family. 

It fills my head with ideas which differ from those set forth in the Word of God.

Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my PHONE offereth me no time to do the will of God; thus I will be condemned with the wicked and ungodly to eternal death.



~ from Bible magazine, 1992 (amended)



How blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scofferes! BUT his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His word he meditates day and night.

~ Psalm 1:1-2
