Satan called a worldwide convention
In his opening address
To his evil angels, he said
"We can't keep the 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 abiding
Relationship experience in Christ
If they gain that connection
With Jesus
Our power over them is broken

So let them go to their churches
Let them have their
Conservative lifestyles

But steal their time So they can't gain
That relationship With Jesus Christ
This is what I want you to do angels

Distract them from gaining hold
Of their Savior and maintaining
That vital connection throughout their day
How shall we do this? shouted his angels
Keep them busy
In the nonessentials 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

And they can afford
Their empty lifestyles
Keep them from spending time
With their children
As their family fragments, soon
Their home 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 instantly
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
So the husbands will believe
That external beauty is what's important
And they'll become dissatisfied
With their wives

Ha! That will fragment those families quickly!

Even in their recreation
Let them be excessive
Have them return from
Their recreation exhausted

Disquieted and unprepared
For the coming week
Don't let them go out
In nature to reflect on God's wonders
Send them to amusement parks
Sporting events, 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 and unsettled emotions

Go ahead, let them be involved
In soul winning, but 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 convention
The evil angels went eagerly
To their assignments
Causing Christians everywhere
To get more busy and more rushed
Going here and there

I guess the question is
Has the devil been successful
At his scheme? You be the judge!

Does "busy" Mean!
