The following poem from an unknown author, is designed to help us think about what kind of written material we read and its importance relative to the Bible (cf. Matthew 4:4 – NKJV; Romans 1:16 – NKJV).<\/p>\n

\n

They read the Journal and the News,
The Green Book and the Red;
They kept the serials of the month
securely in their head.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They went through books both old and new
best sellers, too, they thought;
They read the jokes and scanned the styles
no item went for nought.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They read the sporting page they
called each athlete by name;
They read of baseball, football, golf
familiar with each game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They look the funny paper through
they watched the mails to seize
The magazine they like the best,
whose columns did most please.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But in their home there was a Book,
with pages never turned,
Whose messages of truth and hope
were still by them unlearned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only Book that tells of Him who
came that we might know
The Truth that saves and comforts
us in this vile world below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a pity that they do not know
this man of Galilee!
How sad they do not seek for things
of immortality!<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, no, they read and laugh and cry
o’er stories of the hour,
And let the Book, dust-covered lie
unopened in its power!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
