Topic: Devil
Know how our enemy works.
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 in Church-
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, with a bit of luck they may stop going to
church-- they are my missionaries.
Blessed are those who are very religious but get on everyone's nerves--
they are mine forever.
Blessed are the troublemakers-- they shall be called my children.
Blessed are those who have no time to pray-- they are easy prey for me.
Blessed are the gossipers, for they are my secret agents.
Blessed are those critical of church leadership, for they shall inherit
a place with me in my fate.
Blessed are the complainers-- I'm all ears for them.
Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about other people
and not yourself-- I've got you.
