God is calling, and he wants you to turn off your cell phone
One, I love the title.
Two, I agree with the posting on so many accounts, not the least of which is "why cannot people understand how to turn off their cell phones (or at least the ringer)?"
Here is a snippet of KP's post:
...We got to church early to get a seat and proceeded to watch all the people trickle in. We watched a caregiver lady assisting an elderly lady into the pew in front of us. “That’s nice,” I thought.
Until the caregiver lady’s cell phone started ringing. And this was like 2 minutes before the service was about to start. The phone rang once before she even realized it was ringing; she picked it up, then watched it ring again… like “who’s calling me?”…. then realized she shouldn’t have the phone ringing in church. Genius...
Read the rest of the post, and please, please, turn off the ringer before going into service or meetings.

I cringed every time I hear a cell phone ring during service. I don't think other realize how much of a distraction it is. The focus shifts from the preacher to the one with the ringing phone. To make matters worse, it usually takes 2-3 rings before the culprit realizes their phone is ringing. I've been at a live TBN taping where it was announced to turn off all phones and sure enough someone's phone rang. In those brief few seconds, a distracted soul could have been saved.
Cell phones are good to have, but with anything, they need to be used in their proper perspective; not to include worship.
