A recent study of adults in the United Kingdom found they checked their smartphone every 12 minutes

I personally believe, today, in the US, it is probably closer to every 5 minutes

A recent commercial uses this to ask “ever wonder what all those people are doing on their phones”

The title of the message today is God or Google

The question is – Who do you turn to first?

It has been said that, if Google were to suddenly go away, a whole generation of young people would be lost

The reality is, it isn’t just young people!

This passage is about having confidence that you can take everything to God and He will answer

I asked the question “God or Google?”, because too many believers ask Google instead of asking God

Understand that Google is people who have selected possible answers for random questions

Google isn’t your creator that knows you intimately

Yet many people would rather just Google it than to get on their knees and give it to God

John wrote this so that you may know you have eternal life.

I asked Google “How can I have eternal life?”

I received 201 million possible answers

I asked God “How can I have eternal life?”

One answer! The true answer!

Don’t get me wrong, Google can help you find out some things, but it is not always right!

You see there is never a time that God is unreachable

We know, without a doubt, that, when we pray, God hears us.

When He hears us, He will answer

Google gives you possible answers

The point I’m trying to make here today is the same point I was making Wednesday night

We have got to live Godly and not worldly lives

If we are believers, why are we not going straight to the creator first and always for the answers we need?

What if we talked to God every five minutes during a day instead of our smartphone?

What if “knee” mail became more important than email?

What if we in this world, truly trusted God more than Google

What a huge difference that would make in our world

Are you ready to do that today?
