Top 3 Reasons the iPhone is Like the Bible

July 14, 2009 in God,Technologic with 2 Comments

In preparation for a sermonette I’m giving later today, here’s a quick peek into how the iPhone is like the Bible.

1. Practical. The iPhone has thousands of practical uses: Find your way through a city; rent a movie from RedBox; check your bank balance; get a quote for an oil change. The Bible is practical as well–profoundly so: Don’t go in debt; work hard;

2. Artistic. From a visual standpoint, the iPhone is gorgeous. Curves in all the right places, a beautiful UI, and an OS that is second-to-none. The Bible, of course, is primarily a work of art. Did you know that? When comparing poetry to prose, most of the Bible is a poem! How wonderful. The literary rhythm of Scripture

3. Simple. The iPhone is so appealing because it is, in a word, simple. It has one button to get you to the places you need to go. Everything comes up on one screen. It is delightfully easy to use. The Bible is also simple. Very simple: God created. Jesus wept. God loved the world. All things will be made new. Dead simple.

So there you have it. Some of the reasons why the iPhone is like the Bible.

    [shakes head and laughs] That you are using this as your object lesson isn't even the best part. The best part is that someone made the clip art in the first place. nice!

    Can I add one more to that? both are elegant. lol!

    Seriously though I'd say they might have a lot of things in common but far be it that our desire to read God's word be replaced with "worldly" and temporary things like iphone.

    God Bless you!
