Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellence and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and heard from me saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.(Phillipians 4:8-9)

So we as believers keep wringing our hands together wondering why the church seems to be making little to zero impact on the culture. Then we act shocked and amazed when we hear about Christian acting just like the world around us.

But that’s o.k., because when we grab a bowful of chili and a fistful of Fritos and plop down in front of T.V., all are worries temporarily go away.Yep, when we turn on the tube and cable-ize our cranium, life seems so much more tolerable.

Perhaps that is part of the problem.  Every year, additional ‘versions’ of the Bible come out, and every year they are read less and the same time, the average persons spends more and more time glued to the tube.

Let’s face it folks, Christians in America are cable clever and Scripture stupid.

So here is a little article  I came across that may motivate you check out the Bible more often :

Another way to think about the contents of the books of the Bible is by comparing them to modern day TV.If we think of The Bible as a cable TV guide, we might compare some of the books to TV channels as follows:

1.The Women’s Channel: Esther, Ruth, and song of Solomon are books that would fit with “Chick TV”. The books contain women’s stories,problems, and issues.

2.Science Fiction Channel:The book of Revelation contains amazing visions and future like couldn’t imagine.

3.Real Life TV: Joshua, Judges, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings. The books have action, adventure, and suspense.

4.Advise TV : the book of Proverbs gives everyday wisdom by which to make decisions.

5.The History Channel or CNN : Genesis, Exodus, Acts. These books provide who, what, where, when, at that period in time. And they also offer some commentary and effects.

6.Christian TV : All of the Epistles. These letters would be the meat and potato line-up for dealing with real issues and living.
