Heard this at church tonight and thought it was very thought provoking! If the Devil were to write his own list of “Beatitudes” this is probably pretty close to what they would sound like.
“Blessed are those Christians who are too tired, too busy, and too distracted to spend time with their fellow Christians in Church
-they are good candidates to back slide.
Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked
-those I can use 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 do likewise
-they are my missionaries
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 those Christians who are bored with the minister’s mannerism and mistakes
-they will get nothing out of his sermons.
Blessed are those Christians who expect to be invited to his own church
-they are part of the problem instead of the solution.
Blessed are those Christians who gossip
-they shall cause strife and divisions that please me.
Blessed are those Christians who professes to love God but hates his brother and sister
-they shall be with me forever.
Blessed are those Christians who read this and think it is about other people and not themselves
-I’ve got you!
