ALL Make the sound they play on the show

Keisha Everyone read the rules backstage? We'll start with the person
whose name is first alphabetically. That would be you April.

April (Bouncing up and down) Oh goody. BANK!

Keisha Have you lost the war against intellectual poverty? Please dearie,
wait to see if you win anything. OK here is your first question.
April, in the Northern hemisphere, June 21st marked the start of
what season?"

April Winter

Keisha Wrong! Did you leave your intellectual handbrake on? Daniel, Who
wrote the Book of Genesis?
Daniel Moses

Keisha Correct. David, What book in the Bible follows Genesis?

David Is that in the script? Uhh, Revelation?

Keisha WRONG! James, What does the Bible mean when it says for a
Christian to “ Stand Firm”

James It means to stand for what God has taught you and to believe in
Him.

Keisha Correct. Jonathan, Given the opportunity, do you go to a Devo or a

basketball party?

Jonathan Why Keisha, I would go to a Devo.

Keisha Correct. Michael, Give me an example of what it means to STAND

FIRM.

Michael Standing firm would be when a soldier in God’s Army met up with
the temptation of the Devil and used memorized Bible verses to
beat him.

Keisha Correct. Robert, How would you program someone to STAND

FIRM?

Robert Eph 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the
day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after
you have done everything, to stand.

Keisha Correct. Sarah, What book would you study to give you the strength
to STAND FIRM?

Sarah I would study the books Genesis through Revelation. The Bible,
The true Word of God, The Sword of Truth, The Alpha and Omega,
the…

(Interrupting) Firm in Christ?

Keisha Correct. April, What is it that allows you to follow Jesus?

April Faith

Keisha Correct. Daniel, What does faith do for you?

Daniel It helps you STAND FIRM, Keisha.

Keisha Correct. David, What is the newest Redneck word on the market?

David Winter

Keisha Correct, James, use that word in a sentence.

James Why doncha, go on winter and Stand Firm for Jesus.

(Applause Sign)

Keisha Correct. Jonathan, Who does Christians stand firm against?

Jonathan The Devil

Keisha Correct, Michael, how would you order troops to Stand Firm?

Michael (MARCHES up front and face the audience) AUDIENCE –

ATTENHUT! That means you ladies! ATTENHUT! Now
repeat after me. I know a way to STAND FIRM! (All repeat
after him – hopefully the audience does also) Put Jesus First and
you won’t Squirm! (All repeat after him – hopefully the audience
does also) I CAN’T HEAR YOUUUUU!!!
(Repeat if necessary then march back to your place)

Keisha Correct. Robert, How do you spell relief?

Robert F-A-I-T-H

Keisha Correct. Sarah, What is the meaning of life?

Sarah Following Jesus and getting to Heaven by standing firm on the

Cross!

Keisha Correct. Trevor, the United States tri-centennial is projected to

occur in which year?
Trevor 1897?

Keisha Wrong-ola dude! I think you would benefit from a lobotomy. That’s
all of Round One. You all deserve to go, but unfortunately only one
of you can, so… Who’s IQ and shoe size are the same number?
Whose theme song should be if I only had a brain? Who thinks a
quarterback is a refund? Who's so thick they put a ruler in their bed
just to see how long they slept? Make your vote to determine…
THE WEAKEST LINK.

All write something on their pad.

April, you had a surprisingly good round.

April Thank you

Keisha Was it a mistake? You look like your curlers are too tight.
Who did you choose?

April I chose David, cause I don’t like Soaps.

Daniel I chose Trevor because how can you not know that our Tri-
centennial is in 2004

David I chose April cause I don’t like people who don’t like soaps.

James I chose Michael because I was in the Navy!

Jonathan I chose James because I’m sick of Redneck jokes.

Michael I chose Sarah because I went to OCU and she goes to ACU. GO
EAGLES!!!

Robert I chose Daniel because I failed English

Sarah I chose Jonathan because he once hit me with his basketball.

Trevor I chose Robert because he failed English.

Keisha We seem to have a little bit of a tie here. Everyone got one vote.
Sarah, are you feeling OK?

Sarah Yes I am, why?

Keisha I ask you because you got a question right in that last round. Next
Round – April, What is your protection for Standing Firm?
April The Armor of God as found in Eph. Chapter 6.

Keisha Correct, Daniel, What is the theme of the sentence, “I can do all
things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

Daniel Jesus gives us the strength to STAND FIRM.

Keisha Correct. David, How would you act out standing firm?

David (Jumping out to center stage – roll your R’s) FRIENDS,

CHRISTIANS, COUNTRYMEN, lend me your ears! Whether it is
nobler to go to church or a basketball game is a decision of faith –
STAND FIRM – GO TO CHURCH!

Keisha Correct. James, Same question – How would you pass the word for
standing firm?

James (To the tune of Elvira) My Savior (ALL – do the bass) My Savior
(ALL – do the bass then all sing) Hallelujah! Amen!

Keisha Correct. Jonathan, Which way is up?

Jonathan Jesus is – He said, I am the way, the Truth, and the Life.

Keisha Correct, I also would have accepted ‘up’. Michael How do you
enlist in the Lord’s Army?

Michael Acts 2:38 Repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ so
that your sins can be forgiven.

Keisha Correct. Robert, Name the most important thing a Christian can do.

Robert STAND FIRM

(APPLAUSE SIGN)

Keisha Correct. Sarah, Complete this sentence, “Without Faith it is…”

Sarah IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD!

(Cheer sign)

Keisha Correct. Trevor, Why is it important to stand firm?

Trevor To stand firm means to stand against the Devil and his powers
through Faith in God.
Keisha Correct. That’s the end of the final round. "Who is the dandelion on
the lawn of intelligence? When opportunity knocks, who doesn't
open the door? Who can't tell the difference between life and a box
of chocolates? Make you votes – for THE WEAKEST LINK

April I voted for you Keisha, The range of your lack of knowledge is
spectacular!

Daniel I voted for you also, "There's no end to what you don't know, is
there?"

David You got mine too, two more brain cells, and you could be a tree.

James You got mine - Are you stupid by nature, or are you just
pretending?

Jonathan Me too Keisha, What a vast range of subjects you know absolutely
nothing about!

Robert I am seeing a trend here Keisha, Is there no beginning to your

intelligence?

Michael You would never soldier in my army. You are DISMISSED!!!

Sarah Keisha, You who forget that Jesus can help you STAND FIRM –
YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK!

Trevor DITTO BABY. You ARE the Weakest Christian! Goodbye

ALL SING And I stand, I stand in awe of You,

I stand, I stand in awe of You;
Holy God, to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of You.
