- You know how several places like theaters and libraries have signs that ask you to turn your cell phones off? I know that can get annoying, but they are there for a reason.

- I was speaking at a church in Nebraska last month. In the middle of the worship service, we quieted down and someone had a message in tongues. This is nothing new to those of us in the Assemblies of God. We waited a few moments for someone to speak out with the Holy Spirit inspired interpretation. A man with a booming voice began to speak, and almost instantaneously, his cell phone went off

- What a challenge to listen to the message God had for us with a cute cellphone jingle broadcasting at the same time. Make sure to turn your cell phone off. And remember, it's much easier to communicate a powerful message to others if your voice is the only one they are hearing. Eliminate distractions for better focus.
