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-they are my
best
candidates to backslide Christians

  **Blessed are those Christians who WAIT TO BE ASKED and EXPECT TO BE
THANKED -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.
