Someone from our Bible Study group gave me the following. It's a clever little poem that speaks of a big problem.


Side by Side

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 helps 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.

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 before they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired can they 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, not 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.
