For what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

* Luis Alberto Alves

Now the interesting thing is to conquer the world. Be successful, make lots of money, be on the cutting edge. The last desert wedding reception is to have current account superverde, parading in a Ferrari or any car designer over half a million. That is, the ideal is always appear beautiful on consumerism photography.

 To make matters worse some evangelical denominations have adopted the perverse speech "prosperity theory". God exists only to fill the pockets of money and accounts of his servants. Everything revolves round of wealth. Nothing is said in relation to salvation. Just to figure in the list of great millionaires.

 I plead misery. Everyone must have the necessary to enjoy a good life. But it is ridiculous to forget the Gospel of Mark, chapter 8, verse 36, "For what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul" Board of great value given by God, but currently ignored.

 No one escapes death. Rich or poor, famous or anonymous, male or female. Everyone will face the cold of the grave, where beauty, financial strength, reputation, intellectual intelligence, resourcefulness will turn to dust. For lack of wisdom many prefer the short path of the wealth of this world, which lasts until the arrival of death. Leaving in the background eternal.
