1 Corinthians 4:14-21
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 4.
How many in here grew up in a time when you didn't have television, can I see your hand? You didn't have television. All right, quite a few of you. I did a little research. Television was kind of invented where people could get it in the early 30s. But most people didn't have a television set until actually the 50s, in 1946 in America 0.5% of the people had a television set. Anybody in here have a television set in 1946? See, you're a part of that 99.5% that didn't have one. But by 1954, 55.7% of Americans had a television set. Who had a television set in 1954? Not everybody had one.

And it was black and white TV, and then color TV. And NBC had a statement when they would show different shows, they would say, ''This show is brought to you in living color.'' And when you're watching on a black and white TV, you're like, ''Ah, that doesn't help me much.'' But man, when you had a color TV it's like, ''Wow! That's so cool in living color.'' You know, for those of you that are younger, color TV; it was so bad that they would sell these things you could put on your black and white TV to make it look like it was color. It was kind of green on the bottom and blue on the top. So if you ever had an outdoor scene, you're like, ''Hey, that looks kind of good.'' Kids don't understand that today, but that's what we grew up with. And we had just a few channels and in living color meant that you could really ...
