ACTOR 2 How many types and swipes are between you and God?
ACTORS 1 & 3 (As an echo, looking straight out, then back down at phones) God, God, God. ACTOR 2 If you realized how many, I guarantee you'd be shocked. ACTORS 1 & 3 Shocked, shocked, shocked.
ACTOR 2 We spend more time with our phones, than with our Lord and savior. ACTORS 1 & 3 Savior, savior, savior
ACTOR 2 I think it's time for us to finally reexamine our behavior. ACTORS 1 & 3 Behavior, behavior, behavior
ACTOR 2 The phone is not the issue, let us make that clear. Our communication with Him is something that I fear. We've got Facebook, “the gram” , Snapchat to speak. Tell me how long with The Lord is your bible reading streak? We talk and text with whom we love, / isn’t that true? If its been a minute since you've talked with God, / what does that say about you? Because of Christ, we Love at all costs. Our life on this earth has already been bought. Rising above the world, because God loves us greatly. Tell me what have you done with Jesus lately? It's time to get back on track / focus on the one constant truth. The one who died on the cross, / for me and you. ACTOR 3
