#Selfie - Part 3 - Pastor Raymond Woodward

About this sermon

Part 3 of #Selfie with Pastor Raymond Woodward. September 12th, 2018. SMARTPHONE EVALUATION 1. What does my smartphone cost me per year if I add up the price of the device, accessories, and monthly plan? 2. Do I need mobile web access to fulfill my career obligations or my calling in ministry? 3. Is texting essential to me? Do those texts need to be seen in real time? Is my phone the only way to do it? 4. Do I need mobile web access to serve others? 5. Do I need mobile web access to navigate unfamiliar cities? Is the device an essential part of my travels? 6. Do I need my smartphone for coupons in stores? Would I save more money if I simply had no data plan? 7. Can my web access wait? Is the convenience of mobile internet access something I could better replace with “scheduled time” on a laptop or desktop computer? 8. Can I get along just as well with a “dumbphone,” a WiFi hotspot, an iPod, a laptop, or a tablet? 9. Can I listen to my music and podcasts in other ways? 10. Have I grown addicted to my phone? Can moderation solve the issue, or do I need to quit using it for a while? 11. Do the mobile “lures” of my smartphone insulate me from real people and real needs around me? 12. Do I really want my kids (or parents or friends) to see me gazing at a handheld screen so much? What does this habit project to them and to others around me?
