First Steps to Spiritual Growth
Steve Jones
Acts 2:42
C.I. - Devotion to the Apostle's teaching is essential for Christians.
Intro: The TV Land cable network has compiled a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV, from the serious Walter Cronkite's nightly signoff ''And that's the way it is'' to the silly: ''We are two wild and crazy guys!''

I read through the one hundred catchphrases and recognized all but maybe two. What does that say about me? Among other things, it says that I've watched an awful lot of television (especially as a kid growing up). It follows that TV has been a big influence on my life.
Let's see how you do on some of these...see if you can identify the source of the catchphrase:

''Ask not what your country can do for you...'' (JFK)
''Baby, you're the greatest'' (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden)
''Book 'em, Danno'' (Steve McGarrett, ''Hawaii Five-O)
''Come on down!'' (Johnny Olson, ''The Price is Right'')
That article got me to wondering how my knowledge of the Bible compares to my TV knowledge. Are there Biblical ''catchphrases'' that I would readily recognize? After all, this is the book by which I claim to live my life. How about you? I'll list ten Bible catch-phrases here. See if you can complete the phrase (without looking them up!) and maybe even tell what book of the Bible they come from.
