Under
church news please Tim.
SATAN'S
MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Christians from going to
church."
"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and
knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate
relationship with
their
saviour."
"Once they
gain that connection with Jesus, our power over
them is
broken."
"So let them go to their churches; let them
have their covered dish
dinners,
BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to
develop a relationship
with
Jesus Christ.."
"This is what I want you to do," said the
devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and
maintaining that
vital
connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons
shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of
life and invent innumerable
schemes
to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow,
borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and
the husbands to
work
6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford
their empty
lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their
children."
"As their families fragment, soon, their
homes will offer no escape
from the
pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they
cannot hear that still, small
voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or cassette
player whenever they drive."
To
keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home and
see
to it that every store and restaurant in the
world plays non-biblical
music
constantly."
"This will jam their minds and
break that union with Christ."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a
day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail
order catalogs,
sweepstakes, and
every kind of newsletter and promotional
offering free products,
services
and false hopes.."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV
so their
husbands
will believe that outward beauty
is what's important, and they'll
become
dissatisfied with their wives. "
"Keep the wives too tired to love their
husbands at night."
"Give them headaches too! "
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need,
they will begin
to
look elsewhere."
"That will fragment their families
quickly!"
"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching
their children
the
real meaning of Christmas."
"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't
talk about his resurrection
and
power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Have them return from their recreation
exhausted."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and
reflect on God's creation.
Send
them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays,
concerts, and movies
instead."
"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve
them in
gossip
and
small talk so that they leave with troubled
consciences."
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have
no time to seek
power
from Jesus."
"Soon they will be working in their own
strength, sacrificing their
health
and family for the good of the cause."
"It will work!"
"It will work!"
It was quite a
plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
Christians
everywhere
to get busier and more rushed, going here and
there.
Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of
Jesus to change
lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been
successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's
Y-oke?
Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
I don't think I know 10 people who would admit
they love Jesus.
Do You Love
Him?
IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!
