Fill in the blank in the following sentence, using one of the vowels, A, E, I, O or U:
“THE LAND OF __Z.”
In the surveys conducted, 99% respond with O.
Why do we say ‘THE LAND OF OZ’? Why do we know about the home of a WIZARD, that will, according to Leviticus 19:31, 20:5-6 and Deuteronomy 18:11-12, ‘defile’ our ‘family’?
Why don’t we know about “the land of Uz,” the home of Job, who “was perfect and upright”? Job 1:1 – “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.”
The problem is not KJV; it is TV.
The fall of mankind was initiated because Adam and Eve listened to a voice other than God’s. There are counterfeit voices, like the NIV, NRSV, and CEV. But there are a chorus of other voices competing with the Word of God for our time, attention, affection, and our mind.
TV is a powerful medium. Only the Word of God is more “powerful” (Heb. 4:12). Preachers and Sunday School teachers cannot compete with the stimulation level of the TV, unless they use the words of God, not their own words or the words of our milktoast culture. Use the words of the KJB!

Christian, ask yourself one question: Are you spending as much time in prayer and reading God’s Word as you spend watching TV each day? An ‘idol’ is anything or anyone you put above God. Ezekiel 20:16 - “Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.”
We must first get God’s preserved Word into the hands of the people in order for them to read and begin a relationship with Him. Bearing Precious Seed, a Scripture publishing ministry, does just that. Since 1973, BPS has printed over 200 million Scriptures and Scripture portions and distributed them to churches and missionaries all around the world. There are local ministries who do the same. Please prayerfully consider donating to be a part of getting the very Words of God into the hands of those who may have never seen or heard about a Bible. 1Peter 1:25
Psalms 126:6 - “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
