Would You Rather Be On Your Phone or Alone With God? - Tim Conway

You know what?

We can run to a thousand things

and quickly call somebody on your phone.

Everyone of you just about,

you have a phone right in your pocket,

right in your purse.

It's difficult to mourn

when all of a sudden

you get a text message

and then you respond to it.

I mean right at such time

where you've sinned

and you're actually beginning

to feel something

and have some deep

and real dealings with the Lord.

And suddenly you hear a phone beep

and you actually respond to it.

I'll tell you one of the reasons

we don't go so deep

and we don't mourn so deeply

and we don't weep so bitterly

and we don't contemplate

things like

David did.

It's because we're so caught up in the trivialities.

You know what?

There's a time

to turn off your computer

turn off your phone.

Guys,

when I was a teenager,

phones had cords

that went to the wall.

We didn't even have phones

you can walk around the house with.

There were no phones in cars, yet.

Cell phones,

that was on Star Trek.

I'm saying this because

people actually have

for a long time

lived without these things.

There is a time

to shut them off

and get alone with the Lord.

If you can't do that

you're not gonna know the victories

of the men and women who have gone really deep with the Lord.

That's just the truth.

If you gotta to take

a 12 gage shot gun

and put a slug hole

through the front of your television

in order to get alone with the Lord then do it.
