(The above title is to be sung to the tune of "Our love's in Jeopardy..." If you're a classic rocker, you'll know the tune)
So I'm watching Jeopardy last night and man was I ever impressed with the contestants. They were rattling off British authors, spouses and children of movie and TV stars and all kinds of obscure trivia....until they asked to complete this Bible verse:
"Lo though I walk through the..."
If you recognize it, it's the 23rd Psalm. One of the most (formerly) well known verses in the Bible. I was amazed all 3 contestants were absolutely stumped. In many cases they at least take a stab at it. However they couldn't even get into the ballpark to make a wild guess.
Is that the state of Bible literacy these days? I wonder how many Christians can get it? I"ll bet they could've gotten the verse, "Judge not lest..."
No wonder our world seems so lost and aimless these days. In another Psalm, the same guy that wrote our 23rd "mystery" Psalm also wrote, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light onto my path". No light or lamp can lead one to stumbling around in the dark!!
