The Devil's Beatitudes
If the Devil were to write his Beatitudes, they would probably go something like this;
- Blessed are those Christians who are too tired, too busy, or too distracted to spend a half a hour with God each day, or two hours once a week with their fellow Christians - they are my best workers.
- Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked to perform any small task at Church - I can use them.
- Blessed are those Christians that are "touchy;" sooner or later they will stop going to church - they are my missionaries.
- Blessed are those Christians who are troublemakers - they shall be called my children.
- Blessed are those Christians who are complainers - I'm all ears to them.
- Blessed are those Christians who are bored with the pastor's mannerisms and mistakes - for they get nothing out of his sermon's from God's word.
- Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church - for they are part of the problem instead of the solution.
- Blessed are those Christians who enjoy gossip - for they shall cause strife and divisions in the church that please me.
- Blessed are those Christians who are easily offended - for they will soon get angry and quit church and keep others from attending with their critical speech.
- Blessed are those Christians who do not give their financial offering to carry on God's work through the church - for they are my helpers.
- Blessed are those Christians who profess to love God but hate their fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord - for they shall be with me forever.
- Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about the other Christian and not yourself - I've got you!!!
