The Bible and the TV Guide

The Bible and the TV Guide

The Bible and the TV Guide – All too true, sadly … a poem contrasting the Bible and the TV Guide – which do you read most often?

On the table side by side
The Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide.

One is well worn, yet cherished with pride,
But that one is not the Bible, it’s the T.V. Guide.

One is used daily to help folks decide,
No! it isn’t the Bible, it’s the T.V. Guide.

As the pages are turned what shall they see?
Oh! it doesn’t matter, just turn on the T.V.
Then confusion is started, for they can’t all agree
On what they shall watch on the old T.V.

So they refer to the book in which they all confide
But it isn’t the Bible, it’s the T.V. Guide.

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

Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible, but from watching T.V.

Then back to the table side by side,
The Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide.

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

Forgiveness of sin so full and free
We find in the Bible and not on T.V.
