Day 11 – The Devil’s Beatitudes
Psalms 74:18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
A born-again believer living in America can’t help but feel that our once wonderful country is going to Hell in a hand basket. :'( Abortion is rampant and the conscience is seared due to apathy. The following quote is from Operation Rescue:
“of all unintended pregnancies, 4 in 10 are aborted. There are approximately 1.21 million abortions in America each year.”
Operation Rescue
Are these innocent deaths any different than those spoken of in Deuteronomy?
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
We just finished supporting Life Chain yesterday and what a sad day it was for me. Not only are we talking about 1.21 million babies being killed in the name of convenience, but the sick mentality of people who support these killings! As we stood on the sidewalks with various pro-life and pro-Jesus signs, we were mocked and yelled at by 3-4 times more people than people showing support for the cause. :'( My heart was absolutely broken! There were so many more in support of this cause in years past! Where were those people yesterday? What happened to their consciences – their hearts?
Oh, Father in Heaven, please forgive this people and this land for offering up their unborn children to the god of this world! Lord, turn the hearts of your people and revive us again so we can be bold witnesses to those who get rid of their babies because it’s not convenient! Please, Lord, keep Your hand of judgment from us and give us more time to reach out to this lost and dying world.
I found this story that really applied to the heart of what is wrong with Christians today. I hope it speaks to your heart!
THE DEVIL’S BEATITUDES
Blessed are they who are too tired and busy to assemble with the Church on Sunday; for they are my best workers.
Blessed are they who are bored with the pastor’s mannerisms and mistakes; for they get nothing out of the casermon.
Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church; for he is important to me.
Blessed are they who do not meet with the church on Sunday; for they cause the world to say, “The Church is failing.”
Blessed are they who do not give to carry on God’s work and mission; for they are my helpers.
Blessed are the troublemakers; for they shall be called the children of the devil.
Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother; for he will be with me forever.
Blessed is he who has no time to pray; for he shall be easy prey for me.
