Only 16% of teens want on iPhone, compared with 22% last year.

Apple might be worried, but I think that’s probably good news.

I love my iPhone. I actually prayed a lot before we bought it because it’s not exactly cheap. But it’s made life and ministry so much easier, especially when I’m on the road.

The technology is shockingly awesome. I mean, I can browse any website in the world with ease. And download all sorts of cool apps.

That’s the scary part. The Lord rescued me from porn years ago and I’ve never turned back. But I know that struggle would have been ten times worse if I had an iPhone back then.

If you struggle with porn in any way, hear me loud and clear: Do not get a any type of smartphone. “It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell” (Mark 9:43, NIV). It only makes things worse. I’ve watched it happen.

That’s why part of me worries so much when I see a student with the Internet in their pocket–whether it’s an iPhone, Blackberry, Tanberry or Palm. It makes sin so terribly easy, so accessible.

I’m a big believer in technology’s ability to make life easier. I’m also a big believer in technology’s ability to tempt and corrupt.
