THE 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:

1. 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.

2. Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked -- I can use them.

3. Blessed are the touchy that stop going to church because the pastor didn't give a feel good message or the church is too big -- they are my missionaries.

4. Blessed are the trouble makers -- they shall be called my children.

5. Blessed are the complainers -- I'm all ears to them.

6. Blessed are those who are bored with the minister's mannerism and mistakes -- for they get nothing out of his sermons.

7. 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.

8. Blessed are those who gossip -- for they shall cause strife and division that please me.

9. Blessed are those who are easily offended by the trivial -- for they will soon get angry and quit.

10. Blessed are those who do not give their offering to carry on God's work-- for they are my helpers.

11. Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother , sister and neighbor -- for he shall be with me forever.

12. Blessed are you who, when you read this, think it is about other people and not yourself -- I've got you too!

13. Blessed are those who claim to be Christians but don't study God's word or have understanding of what it means to be a Christian--for they'll assist me in misleading others.
