| You have an idol in your home
With one great glaring eye? He occupies the foremost place And I will tell you why. We sacrifice to him our time Because he'll entertain, And to our bulging eyes display All life's sorry train - Vice and crime and viciousness, Horror, shame and sin - (We've wasted many precious hours Since we have let him in.) But now he dominates our home. For God we have no time. Our eyes are dimmed by "Gunsmoke". Our minds are filled with crime. "I bring into your living room Bartender, harlot, thief, And from the sick commercials I give you no relief. "I brainwash children and prepare Their minds by what they hear; I make attractive violence, Sin, cigarettes and beer. "You speak of young delinquents And deplore their vicious deeds? But I continue merrily To sow the vicious seeds. "The cheating wife or husband Is the accepted thing. We're living in a 'modern' world. Go to it! Have your fling! "Away with outworn 'standards'? Our day is modernized; Such things as right and wrong! For sin is glamorized. "I set the world's criteria, I am the household god. (If you protest against me You're a puritanic clod!) "I'M the one that rules your home, From God I turn your heart, I fill your mind with banal trash By foul, hypnotic art." Once family altars occupied The place where now we see The glaring eye of Cyclops. Only NOW he's called "T.V." ~Taken from the "The Gospel Standard", September, 1992 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Little Note From Cobblestone Road The Bible tells us in Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Television has brought the ways of the world into the minds of its viewers. We, as Christians are supposed to think biblically. We are to have the mind of Christ. How can one be focused on the Lord Jesus when they are focused on the latest ungodly TV show? Ephesians 5:11 commands us: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ©2005 Cobblestone Road Ministries All Rights Reserved Further Reading: TELEVISION - TURNING CHILDREN INTO ZOMBIES THE STRANGER...A VERY INTERESTING STORY SPIRITUALLY CHILDPROOFING YOUR HOME SHOULD CHRISTIANS WATCH OPRAH?
