SPIRITUAL SUICIDE
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Think how wonderful our nation
|
|
And how peaceful it could be
|
|
If each prayed, and searched the Scriptures
|
|
As much as they tuned in T V.
|
|
It's amazing and appalling,
|
|
How the Lord is so denied.
|
|
Many people have exchanged their Bibles
|
|
For that so-called T V Guide.
|
|
Murder pictures--children watching,
|
|
Programs often base, obscene.
|
|
Many juvenile delinquents
|
|
Can be traced back to the screen.
|
|
Pastors, many are bemoaning.
|
|
Small attendance Sunday nights.
|
|
Careless members, home and watching
|
|
Special programs or the fights.
|
|
|
|
Surely, this must grieve the Master:
|
|
All this tendency to crime,
|
|
As He notes "the wasted hours",
|
|
How and what we do with our time.
|
|
With this grip upon our nation,
|
|
Midnight hour, so very nigh;
|
|
Yet we lull to sleep our conscience,
|
|
Mid a "Rock-Roll" lullaby.
|
|
|
|
Spiritual suicide is certain
|
|
If continued in this way
|
|
How we need to search the Scriptures:
|
|
More and more we ought to pray.
|
|
There would be tremendous difference,
|
|
(To this you may not agree)
|
|
But our GREATEST Spiritual ROBBER
|
|
Is none other than T V.
