This is no Monkey Business

Bible Reading:  II Timothy 3:1-11

Key Verse: Verse  7 - “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Key Words: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth


In our secular schools and universities, evolution is not taught as a theory but a fact.  Today we have more people with college degrees than any other time in history, and yet never have we had a more spiritually ignorant society.  I came across the following which is humorous yet reveals much truth.


The monkeys one day had a big jamboree.
Their leader sat up in the tallest palm tree
And said with a chuckle, ‘My good fellow monks,
If you want a good laugh, just hear this junk.’

‘The teachers of men in a place they call ‘school’
Are training each youngster to grow up a fool.
The kids all run wild and never get spanked.
If our babies did that, their tails would be yanked!

‘No well-mannered monkey dictates to his teacher,
Beats up on policeman or shoots at the preacher,
Poisons the baby or kills with a gun,
And then laughs and says, ‘We were just having fun.’

‘Monkeys, my friends, have respect for each other;
We hand out no sass to our fathers or mothers.
The picture I’ve painted you’ll agree is quite sad,
But listen, my brothers, I’m boiling mad.

‘For here’s what they’re taught---that miserable flunky,
That creature called man was at one time a monkey---
An ape just like us, and what’s more, if you please,
He claims that at one time he swung through the trees.

‘Fellow monkeys, I think this is going too far.
We don’t envy their home, their wealth or their car;
But when they will spread such a horrible rumor,
It’s time for all monkeys to lose their good humor.

‘So, come, you must help me prepare a big sign
Protesting that man’s no descendant of mine.
If evolution be true, then, boys, we are sunk,
For I’d rather be a father to a weasel or skunk!’

                                                     

                                                                                                    Dr. Mike Rouse

What to do: 

Remember in God’s creation, everyone is under some authority.  Be submissive.
