Two books lie on the TV stand,
The Bible and the TV guide.
The TV guide is well worn,
The Bible often set aside.
One is opened to plan the
Entertainment of the day.
The other is God's word,
And tells you how to pray.
TV shows have no value.
Did you notice the bed scenes?
Hollywood sets the morals,
How do they affect your dreams?
Is your marriage getting stronger
As you consume the filthy trash?
Or does it lead to discontentment
And cause you and your spouse to clash?
The Bible contains some prophesies
And many serious predictions.
Wouldn't you be better off reading it
Than watching all the useless fictions?
Do you find some entertainment
Watching killing, blood and gore?
Do you find yourself wanting
To see more of it, and more?
How do you think it affects you?
Do you want to get a gun?
Do you want to pull the trigger
And kill the Father and the Son?
The Bible tells of some killings,
Some of good people, some of bad.
When we keep God's commandments
We will surely end up glad.
But if we ignore Him
And don't pray for our schools,
It will be the Devil that
Will be setting all the rules!
Thanks. I think a lot of people don't realize how much TV can affect you, or how much prayer and reading scriptures can do you good.
