A supposedly big deal is going to happen today. Verizon announced it's ability to host the Apple iPhone. No longer will AT&T be the exclusive wireless carrier of this social phenomenon.
We're not talking about a whole new and improved phone. There will just be one more carrier to the same great product. Service may or may not improve. Only time will tell. Dropped calls may or may not decrease. Only time will tell. What I can say for sure is this: An iPhone is still an iPhone regardless of the carrier. The phone itself hasn't changed.
Let's move from phones to churches. The one thing that doesn't change is the gospel. You can get better customer service at one church. You can have shorter services at another. One carrier of the gospel may be extremely creative. Another carrier may seem highly conservative. However, the gospel is (or should be) the same. Choose your carrier. The ability and allure of the phone (gospel) is still more important than the choice of carrier (church). Without the phone, the carrier is meaningless.
May I never be at a church where the gospel is not #1 priority.
