The Holy Bible Or The TV Guide (poem)

They lie on the table
side by side,
The Holy Bible
and the TV guide.

One is well worn
and cherished with pride,
Not the Bible
... but the TV guide.

One is used daily
to help folks decide,
No, not the Bible
... but the TV guide.

As the pages are turned,
what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter,
turn on the TV.

Then confusion reigns,
they can't all agree,
On what they should watch
on the old TV.

So they open the book
in which they confide,
No, not the Bible
... but the TV guide.

The Word of God
is seldom read,
Maybe a verse
as they fall into bed.

Exhausted and sleepy
and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible
... from watching TV.

So then back to the table
side by side,
Lie the Holy Bible
and the TV guide.

No time for prayer,
no time for the Word,
The plan of Salvation
is seldom heard.

But forgiveness of sin,
so full and free,
Is found in the Bible
... not on TV.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

The complexity of God’s Way understood in a single diagram

Obey your flesh and descend into darkness

How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
