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 Believers -- they are my best workers.

 

2. Blessed are those Believers who wait to be asked and expect to be

thanked -- I can use them.

 

3. Blessed are the touchy who stop going to church -- they are my

missionaries.

 

4. Blessed are the troublemakers -- 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 mannerisms 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

divisions that please me.

 

9. Blessed are those who are easily offended -- 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 and

sister -- 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!
