TELEVISION (Psalm 23) The T.V. set is my shepherd, my spiritual growth shall want. It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for his name's sake,
because it reqireth all my spare time.
It keepeth me away from doing my duty as a Christian,
because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see. It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world.
and keepeth me away from the study of God's word.
It leadeth me in the paths of falling to attend the evening worship service,
and doing nothing in the kingdom of God. Yes, though I live to be a hundred I shall keep on viewing my T.V.
as long as it will work, for it is my closest companian.
Its sounds and its pictures they never comfort me. It presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth me,
and keepeth me away from doing important things with my family.
It fills my head with ideas which differ from those set forth in the word of God. Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my T.V. offereth me no good time to do the will of GOD; thus I will dwell in spiritual poverty
all the days of my life.
This is Original Psalm 23 (Blue color sentences are converted and black one is original one) 1. The LORD [is] my
shepherd; I shall not want. The T.V. set is my shepherd, my spiritual growth shall want. 2. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
waters. It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for his name's sake,
because it reqireth all my spare time.
It keepeth me away from doing my duty as a Christian,
because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see. 3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in
the paths of righteousness for his name's
sake. It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world.
and keepeth me away from the study of God's word.
It leadeth me in the paths of falling to attend the evening worship service,
and doing nothing in the kingdom of God. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Yes, though I live to be a hundred I shall keep on viewing my T.V.
as long as it will work, for it is my closest companian.
Its sounds and its pictures they never comfort me. 5. Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over. It presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth me,
and keepeth me away from doing important things with my family.
It fills my head with ideas which differ from those set forth in the word of God. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in
the house of the LORD for ever. Surely, no good thing will come of my life, becuase my T.V. offereth me no good time to do the will of GOD;
thus I will dwell in spiritual poverty all the days of my life.
