Distractions

Your iPhone or Smart phone can do many amazing things today.  As the commercial says "it can even make phone calls".  You can have your books on it, videos, games, Internet and  yes, even the Bible.  The Bible program or App can be great as you can have whatever version of the Bible you wish, NIV, KJV, NASB, ESV or ABC.  But what happens when we use it in church?  I still favour having the original, no not the scroll, but the book version.  At least with the book version you are not tempted in church to read your email, check facebook, text your friend or play a game.  Worship is about God but our phones have made it so we can do anything else, especially if the sermon goes too long or we don't like that particular chorus.  Your phone can be a good thing but I am afraid that it can be too much of a distraction for most people. 
Moses told the people that they were to worship God with the whole heart.  Can we do that while we have all these temptations at our finger tips?
