THE 23RD CHANNEL
Author Unknown
The T.V. set is my shepherd.
My spiritual growth shall want.
It makes me to sit down and do nothing for His name's
sake,
because it requires all my
spare time.
It keeps me from doing my
duty as a Christian,
because it presents so
many good shows that I
must see.
It restores my knowledge
of the things of the world,
and keeps me from the
study of God's Word.
It leads me in the paths
of failing to attend
the evening worship services,
and doing 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,
and keep me 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. offers me
no good time
to do the will of God:
thus I will dwell in
restlessness and
depression forever!
