This past Tuesday comedian and talk show host Roseanne was in Jerusalem
touring historic sites of the Holy Land. At one point during the day she
gave reporters a glimpse of her highly personal brand of Judaism when she
said, "The Bible is very funny
its like one great sitcom."
Entertainers from television and movies have their agendas. The media has a
purpose behind all productions which has nothing to do with the Lord God and
His purposes. When I saw the much-hyped network movie "Noah's Ark" a few
weeks ago, I thought
"What a farce as far as presenting a Biblical
account!" It was ridiculous as far as believability goes -- with little
Biblical accuracy. It was as if the movie producers were trying to see how
preposterous they could make the story of Noah as they tried to further
undermine the veracity of the Bible. Needless to say, I couldnt stomach
watching the entire movie.
Although Ive never thought of the Bible as a funny sitcom, apparently some
people do. Never in my wildest imagination would it occur to me to think
that while Noah was in the ark, as the world was flooded, he had a hostile
encounter with a band of pirates spearheaded by Lot.
You see, I still believe that, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that
the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
I still believe that, "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper
than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered
and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."
The Bible is not some sort of a sitcom or fairytale. It is Gods direct
revelation to us. How important is Gods Word in your life? We have Bible
Classes for all ages on Sundays and Wednesdays
will you be in Bible Class
this week?
