THE DEVIL'S BEATITUDES

If the Devil were to write his own beatitudes, they would possibly go something like this: * Blessed are those Christians who are TOO TIRED, TOO BUSY, TOO DISTRACTED to spend time with their fellow-Christians in Church - for they are my best candidates to backslide. * Blessed are those Christians who WAIT TO BE ASKED and EXPECT TO BE THANKED - for I can use them to slow things down. * Blessed are those Christians who are TOUCHY; with a bit of luck they may STOP GOING TO CHURCH and get others to quit - they are my missionaries. * Blessed are those Christians who are VERY RELIGIOUS but GET ON EVERYONE’S nerves - they are my most effective stumbling blocks. * Blessed are those Christians who are TROUBLEMAKERS - they are my best wrecking crew. * Blessed are those Christians who have NO TIME TO PRAY - they are easy prey for me. * Blessed are those Christians who are COMPLAINERS - they are my best discouragers. * Blessed are YOU when you read this and THINK IT IS ABOUT OTHER people and not yourself - I’ve got you!
