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!
