The Holy Bible and the TV Guide

There on the table, they lie side by side
Is God's Holy Bible and the bright TV Guide.
One is well read and cherished with pride
But that one’s not the Bible, it's the bright TV Guide.
And turning the pages, what shall they see?
It makes little difference, just turn on that TV.
But confusion begins, for they can't all agree
What they shall watch on their big screen TV.
Shall it be those young stars, who are scantily clothed
Or a violent drama, where sex scenes are shown.
Or maybe a talk show, where all talk about self
And espouse all their wisdom, but God they'll leave out.
Yes, they refer to the Book, which they all confide
But it's not the Bible, it's the bright TV Guide.
The true Word of God, is seldomly read
But maybe one verse, just before bed.
Exhausted and sleepy, tired as one can be
Not from reading the Bible, but from watching TV.
Then back to the table, to lie side by side
God's Holy Bible and the new TV Guide.
There's no time for prayer, and no time for His Word
Christ's plan of salvation, is seldomly heard.
The forgiveness of sin, it's so full and so free
We find in God’s Bible, but not on TV.
