S.A.T.I.R.E. Look it up if you don't know what the word means.
Some folks seem to take everything a bit too seriously.
I actually thought it was a pretty good piece.

So should musicians be immune from satire because they'll be offended? Please.
Lighten up, folks. Its just a simple article. Its not that serious.

I wondered how this would go over with a little word replacement. Let's see.
I ponder this title....
And ask myself....
What is a bitter preacher Devil?
Everybody knows that Lucifer got kicked out of Heaven and landed in the local United Pentecostal Church....
Or maybe behind the pulpit....
Seems like if the devil shows up anywhere it will be somewhere in the preachers...
I call these things...
bitter preacher Devils...
However a bitter preacher Devil is not a person....
It is an attitude....
Those that are the bitter preacher types many times possess a moody temperamental side that is difficult for the rest of us to deal with.
And since the bitter preacher types has talent that helps him into spiritual arenas without having to pursue the Almighty...
Or pray....
Many times their carnal side becomes prevalent....
Also, since we that are not bitter preachers are dependent upon those that are.....
Many times we find ourselves bending rules to accommodate the mood swings of the bitter preacher.......
We fail the bitter preacher type by giving in to their moods....
When we do so, the mood of the bitter preacher type learns that he now has power to flaunt and get its way....
So the next time the mood appears.....
It appears in the form of a Bitter Preacher Devil....
Another way a Bitter Preacher Devil manifest itself is the fits and temper tantrums it seems to enjoy having while on internet forums......
Or even in a church service when something does not go its way.....
And then whammo.....
The Bitter Preacher Devil appears....
Have you ever seen the faces a Bitter preacher devil can make at his congregation who falls asleep during his tirade....
Or have you seen the hand gestures that go back and forth...
Persons who struggle with the Bitter Preacher Devil Syndrome are quick to pout and cause members to leave the church......
Or purposely drag in to the service late....
Many times dressed in his $500 suit so as to make a statement.....
The statement is....
You can't make it without me....
But the bitter preacher Devil is so mistaken.......
There is always a replacement....
Usually much better than he himself is.....
Bitter preacher devils are on some internet forums.....
They show up in a poster who doesn't want to read that others might just make it to heaven in spite of believing differently than they do....
Bitter preacher Devils show up to just see how many posters they can make stoop to their level of putting others down.
Bitter preacher devils want people to think they are holier than anyone else....
When in fact, if they spent more time in prayer than they did criticizing others God would work more through them....
Bitter Preacher Devils show up to criticize and condemn others to hell, but sure don't want to take a long look in the mirror at themselves....
Bitter preacher Devils never seem to want to do anything but be critical....
Never would one consider doing anything else......
Swab a toilet.....NO
Pick up a visitor.....NO
But throw a fit if something or someone crosses their whim in any way....YES
I've dealt with many bitter preacher devils over the years....
Ironically, the minister person who struggles with a bitter preacher Devil is most times a most wonderful person....
He just has the glaring weakness of a bitter preacher Devil....
How many bitter preacher Devils have you seen fill out a tithe envelope?
Have you ever seen the person who struggles with a bitter preacher Devil stroll into church late and then have the gall to meander up to the stage and assume their rightful position of power at the pulpit?
The same cat has disdained to pray and now he and his bitter preacher Devil have the audicity to think that the anointing of the Holy Ghost is going to flow through them....
I don't think so.....
It ought not be done so in Israel......
Do you know anyone who struggles with a bitter preacher Devil?
Have you ever seen a bitter preacher Devil at your church?
Do you have a bitter preacher Devil?
If this makes you mad.....
I bet you do you have inside of you one of them.....
bitter preacher Devils.....
