Brothers and sisters, please click on www.bible.com

Pastor Dale Edwards over at Century Assembly is one of those old-school souls who still loves print.

He reads newspapers, he loves books and his Bibles are printed on paper and bound.

But the times they are a changing.

These days when he asks the congregation to open the Bible and read a verse during the service, a certain number of congregants pull out their laptops or flip open their cell phones. Their Bibles are electronic.

“It’s the younger crowd, under 30-40, mostly the guys … They don’t want to clutter their lives with books.”

Is that progress or a shame? I guess if you’re reading this online I know the answer. Let’s see what sort of reaction we get when this publishes in the Lodi News-Sentinel.

By the way, I wrote the headline thinking www.bible.com would be just a generic thing that would make my point. It turns out it’s a real Web site. I don’t know much about it but your free to click and browse. Life is about faith, isn’t Pastor Dale?
