DEVIL'S BEATITUDES
Whew...talk about the hot seat!!!!
This one will make you stop and shudder!
If the devil were to write his beatitudes,
they would probably go something like this:
- Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour 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 -- I can use them.
- Blessed are the touchy who stop going to church -- they are my missionaries.
- Blessed are the trouble makers -- they shall be called my children.
- Blessed are the complainers -- I'm all ears to them.
- Blessed are those who are bored with the minister's mannerisms and mistakes -- for they get nothing out of his sermons.
- Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church -- for he is a part of the problem instead of the solution.
- Blessed are those who gossip -- for they shall cause strife and divisions that please me.
- Blessed are those who are easily offended - for they will soon get angry and quit.
- Blessed are those who do not give their offering to carry on God's work -- for they are my helpers.
- Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother and sister -- for he shall be with me forever.
- Blessed are you who, when you read this, think it is about other people and not yourself -- I've got you too!
WE ALL NEED TO BE REMINDED THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN
TO ANY GOD BELIEVING PERSON, INCLUDING YOU AND ME
