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 requireth my spare time. It keepeth me =
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 this evil world, and keepeth me =
from the study of God’s word.
It =
leadeth me in the paths of failing to attend church, and allows me to do =
nothing in the Kingdom of God.
Yea, =
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 companion. Its sound and its =
picture, they comfort me.
It =
presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth me from doing important =
things with my family. It fills my head with ideas that 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 the place of shame and =
sorrow forever.
