Blessed are they who are too tired and or too busy to go to church on Sunday, for they will lead their children to me.

Blessed are they who say bad things about the Church, its pastor and ministries for they shall receive nothing from God!

Blessed is the church member who expects to be asked, cajoled and persuaded to attend Church...for they use up the minister's time.

Blessed are they, who gossip, cause strife and contention..for they are doing my work for me.

Blessed are they who are easily offended and bothered by every little thing...for they will soon get angry and quit.

Blessed are they who do not give their offerings for God's work...for those who are not helping God are helping me!.

Blessed is he who claims to love God but hates his brother and sister, for they shall be with me forever..

Blessed are the troublemakers and peace breakers, for they shall be called my children...children of the devil.

Blessed is he, who has no time to pray...for they will be easy prey for me and my minions.

Aren't you glad that we don't give cause for the devil to rejoice! Instead by our lives, our deeds and our words we put the devil to shame by living for God and proclaiming Christ in our every act and word!

We must make sure that we live our lives to the glory of God and not to the glory of the devil and every evil thing that works in this world and in our flesh. It is easy to let anger, strife and ugliness to rise up in our lives. When it does.. it hurts everyone around us and it eats away at our image in Christ.

Let's make a commitment to be a people who show forth the glory of God. Let it begin with a smile on our face, a sparkle in our eyes, a kind word upon our lips and a hand that is ready to reach out and help others!!

We can make a difference!!
