Suppose the pastor of a large church divided up his flock into two groups, and instead of the normal “whatever they do” routine practiced on Sunday morning, he announced, “Half of you represent blessings, and the other half curses. Now, I’m going to read a list of what you are to do if you want to be blessed, and you on the left say, ‘Amen.’ Then I am going to read a list of what will bring God’s curses on your life, and you on the right say, ‘Amen.’”
