TV: A time to wake up


John 15:19 New King James Version (NKJV)

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

 

 

TV

 

Now is the time to make major decisions.

Now is the time to step into the future.

Now is the time to wake up for the day.

Yes now is the time to count down and nurture.

 

Iniquity on screen triggers emotion.

Iniquity on screen helps me to jump to judgment.

Iniquity on screen becomes to some devotion.

Yes, iniquity on the screen works to our detriment.

 

Take a lie and pound it down through repetition

All the puppets on the screen dancing hand in hand.

Take the lies and bounce them in their degradation

until the sick in heart ... are leaders of the band.

 

Locusts in swarms they are initiating

destroying everything in their path.

Only death left behind in their jubilation

to receive a price that will make them fat.

 

A pot of gold rests at the end of their deceitful rainbow?

Retirement and benefits ... will make them the elite.

Over and over … the story has been sold

Few understand it ... what about the reborn and priests.
