they use app, read in the printed form and like it digitally. i try to tell people it s not replacing the bible, it is the bible, just in a different format. any people criticizing it thinking technology doesn t have a place in church. any time something new comes, there s always people critical of it. for the most part we ve seen pastors and the church as a whole embrace the app and take this generation into god s word. take a while for the congregation to realize they are not on facebook or twitter. it s very common. thank you so much. appreciate it. 26 minutes after the hour now. a real life hunger games? one summer camp turning the violent movie into a reality for teenagers. we ll explain. you work all year to plan and pay for that perfect vacation. you don t need to book anything before you hear the four golden rules of travel we have coming
book mark, a lot of functions with the printed bible. one popular is to share versus of the bible on facebook and twitter. you see over 200,000 times a day people are sharing versus online. is there an easy way to look at topics. i remember in middle school when we were studying evolution, so-and-so begat so-and-so. for specific topics? hundreds of reading plans or daily devotion always. many are topical. if you re looking for something on depression, a particular issue you re going through, you can have a 14-day reading that deals with the one topic. that s very popular. we ve had recently 10 million plans get completed by people interested in learning about a particular topic. pastor bobby, what do you think about it replacing the bible completely? isn t there something to be said about having pages and turning them. many people prefer to do both.
it s a gateway to what? to a frenetic mind. aren t they using their mind more? some research said we only use 10% of our brain. maybe it s better. maybe the stimulation is good for them. my experience with my kids has been it agitates them. it s way more addictive. we always said you can t watch television to our kids. they don t even care because it s so much more compelling to go on the ipad. we asked on facebook and twitter, i already did. seems like the headline from this is nothing old-fashioned but need to learn writing with a pencil, color, turning pages in a book and communicating face-to-face. it s important. moderation, right? going outside. what? what s that again? moderation. get some exercise. you know what i played with when i was a kid? a stick. a stick and a box. look how good he turned out.
