The Bible On Television
Part One
Years ago a man by the name of Robert Fulghum wrote a short little essay entitled: All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. His observations were short and insightful. His work inspired others to compose concise essays along the lines of: All I Really Need to Know I Learned from My Dog, or All I Really Need to Know I Learned From A Snowman, etc.
Recently with the deaths of so many celebrities many of the basic truths of the Bible have been reinforced in my life. God’s Word is unadulterated wisdom and no matter what scientists uncover, no matter what circumstances the news may report it all just reinforces the truths our Heavenly Father has set forth in His Word.
So here goes my rendition of:
All I Really Need to Know I Learned From the Death of Celebrities
1. Rest is priceless and it is birthed from a sense of peace. No matter how rich or famous one might be, they can never buy real rest. There is only thing that insures rest: Psalm 119:165 “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. “
2. Change comes from the inside out. Multiple plastic surgeries and physical alterations on the outside can never change one’s self image. Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.” NLT
3. A true friend loves you for who you are and not for what you have. No matter how popular you may or may not be they remain in your corner. Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loveth at all times…”KJV
4. There are always two sides to every story and rushing to quick judgment will result in error. Proverbs 18:17, “The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.”NIV
5. Only an idiot thinks he is always right and shuts out or keeps at arms lengths those with differing opinions. Proverbs 12:15, “ Fools think they need no advice, but the wise listen to others.”
