Lord willing, in our next newsletter we will add the fourth set of attributes that are to mark the people
of God and the opposing attributes that single out the people of the world. As you can see so far,
we are building quite a picture of distinction between the two groups and rightly so, for they stem from
the influence of two different kingdoms in opposition to one another. These are the contrasting
markings of light vs. darkness and good vs. evil.

Sadly however, the distinction becomes like muddy water when some of God’s verbally professing
people look and behave more like darkness and evil than light and good. Solomon records:

“DEAD FLIES PUTREFY THE PERFUMER'S OINTMENT,
AND CAUSE IT TO GIVE OFF A FOUL ODOR;

SO DOES A LITTLE FOLLY TO ONE RESPECTED FOR WISDOM AND HONOR.”

Ecc. 10:1

WISDOM IS BETTER THAN WEAPONS OF WAR;

BUT ONE SINNER DESTROYS MUCH GOOD.“
Eccl 9:18

THE “BE” ATTITUDES

(PASTOR RANDY’S

LATEST DVD SERIES)

It was Shakespeare that penned the moral challenge
to man in stating,

“To be, or not to be, that is the question.”
However, long before this challenge to mankind was
penned, God’s Word set before His own people a set
of moral values that have been dubbed with the title,
“The Beatitudes.” The word “beatitude” simply means

“blessed.” Each beatitude begins with the words,
“Blessed are…”

In the Beatitudes, God has set before the Christian
believer eight areas of promised blessing, eight things

that God fully intends for His people to “be” as a
follower of Christ. As a teacher, I have, with tongue-
in-cheek, dubbed them with the more proper title of

“The “Be” Attitudes.”
The dire question really for each one of us as

followers of Christ is the choice either
“To be, or not to be.”
