2016: anxious not live for tomorrow!

* Luis Alberto Alves

It is natural at the end of each year be anxious for others to come. New achievements will be waiting for us. At least that's the thinking of most people. However, Jesus Christ, in Matthew's gospel, I said not to live anxious for tomorrow, just simply the day that we're living.

Anxiety means lack of trust in the Lord. We do not believe that Jesus Christ go to provide our needs. We think that our efforts and projects will make our dreams come true. Most of the time it does not. It is the worldly ideology that acts behind the people to put into practice thoughts of this magnitude.

God is the Lord of time. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. In his hand are our projects before they us to be reality inside the belly of our mothers. But unfortunately the man remains stubborn. Because of the little existing know within himself imagines sending in the Lord's will.

True Christian puts faith in Jesus Christ. He is not doing fingers crossed, knocking on wood three times, jumping seven waves in the sea, eating lentil dish left behind the door, dressed in white, red or yellow clothing, to have peace, love and wealth. All the blessings in store for us, Jesus Christ has placed in our hands. Just start harvesting in 2016.

أين قلبك؟

* لويس ألبيرتو ألفيس
توقف والتفكير لبضع دقائق: قلبك في يسوع المسيح أو الكنوز سريعة الزوال من هذا العالم؟ كثير من الحب والمجوهرات السيئة التي يقدمها الشيطان، وترك في الخلفية شوارع الذهبية من السماء، حيث النصارى مطيعا سيعيش
.
أحيانا هذه العاطفة المجنونة هي لصديقها، صديقها أو حتى الزوج أو الزوجة. قد يكون من العمل، السيارة، المنزل، مهنة أو حتى المال في فحص الحساب. القلق هو مع الكائن الذي هو أمام أعيننا، وليس المستقبل مع الرب.

في هذه اللحظات أرى كيف البشر صغيرة جدا. أنها قادرة على بيع مسكن نهائي بجوار الله في السماء لبضع دقائق من الشهرة هنا في هذا العالم الفاسد. نفس النساء الذين يبيعون أجسادهم لكسب الشهرة.

التمتع عطلة هذا الموسم لتحليل عميق فيه كنز كان قلبك الأسير. إذا لم تكن في يسوع المسيح كنت عرضة لخطر فقدان الطائرة التي ستغادر نحو السماء، لا تذكرة عودة، المرارة في نفوس رعب الظلام.

استخدام يسوع المسيح كما ممسحة؟

* لويس ألبيرتو ألفيس

قد يبدو غريبا، ولكن العديد من المسيحيين استخدام يسوع المسيح كما ممسحة. الحب إلا عندما يقرع الحزن على الباب. عندما كل شيء وردية، لعبت ابن الله الزاوية. لا تستحق الاهتمام لحظة. يتم التعامل معها وكأنها منبوذة. ومع ذلك، والسبب في الرب يعالجون مهينة إلى هذا الحد؟ اهتمام! يعتقد الكثيرون فقط من المسيح لحل مشاكلهم. بعد اختفاء النضال، كل شيء يعود إلى وضعها الطبيعي على الشاطئ الإثم.

كما قس لقد فقدت العد من الأغنام عاطفي ليسوع المسيح في وقت العجاف. ويبدو أنها تريد أن تعيش في الكنيسة دون أن تفقد أي عبادة. بعد الفوز للفوز على نعمة أجنحة واختفت من الأفق.

نصيحتي لك يا أخي لا تتصرف بهذه الطريقة. أبدا المسيح حصيرة. محبة الحقيقة، بغض النظر عن الوضع. المجد دخل إلى ملك الملوك في جميع الأوقات. دعونا النفاق بعيدا عن حياتك. تذكر الله دائما، وليس فقط في الحزن.

Where is your heart?

* Luis Alberto Alves
Stop and think for a few minutes: your heart is in Jesus Christ or the ephemeral treasures of this world? Many love the bad jewels offered by Satan, leaving in the background the golden streets of Heaven, where the obedient Christians will live.

Sometimes this crazy passion is for a boyfriend, boyfriend or even husband or wife. It may be the work, the car, the house, the profession or even the money in the checking account. The concern is with the object which is before our eyes, not the future with the Lord.

In these moments I see how human beings are so small. It is able to sell the definitive dwelling next to God in Heaven for a few minutes of fame here in this rotten world. The same women who sell their bodies to earn fame.

Enjoy this holiday season to deeply analyze in which treasure your heart was captive. If you are not in Jesus Christ you run the risk of losing the aircraft that will depart towards the Heavens, no return ticket, embittering the terror of darkness.

You use Jesus Christ as a doormat?

* Luis Alberto Alves
It may seem strange, but many Christians use Jesus Christ as a doormat. Only love when sadness knocks on the door. When all is rosy, the Son of God is played corner. Does not deserve a moment's attention. It is treated like a pariah.

 However, the reason for the Lord being treated so degrading? Interest! Many think only of Christ to solve their problems. After the disappearance of the struggle, everything returns to normal on the beach of iniquity.

As a pastor I have lost count of sheep passionate for Jesus Christ at the time of lean. They seemed to want to live in the church without losing any cult. After winning the blessing beat wings and disappeared from the horizon.

My advice to you my brother is not acting this way. Never Christ mat. The love of truth, regardless of the situation. Income Glory to the King of kings at all times. Let hypocrisy away from your life. Remember God always, not just in sorrow.

Try to deny press his cross and follow Jesus Christ

* Luis Alberto Alves
Many Christians today do not deny. Let your will ahead of Jesus Christ. Some seek to favor the cult of personality. They want to be remembered, as if they had done the same works of the Lord. It is the self-centeredness of the festival for the good gospel ruin. The love of neighbor.

How many wants to carry, without complaint, the cross that God has asked that we put on the shoulders without a word of murmuring? In fact, churches are full of Christians asking for prayers to ward off the weight of the cross back. Business is surfing the waves of the facilities. Good deal for many.

Speaking of Jesus Christ is easy. Even troubled by evil spirits speak. Now walk behind him, following in his footsteps is another story. The boom is get straight to lead to riches, fame, the podium of professional recognition in the company and even the ministry, in some churches.

 My brother in Christ Jesus, try to deny, carry the cross and follow the Lord. Do not let the barriers built by Satan to prevent the designs of God in your life. It is better to be humbled before the Lord, than to receive exaltation of the devil and lose eternal salvation. You decide.

Beauty seduces, but goodness pleases more

* Luis Alberto Alves 
What man, at some time in life, did not have the eyes buffeted by the beauty of a woman? Especially if she was young and cheeks. Samson went through this experience with Delilah, to fall captive of the Philistines. Jacob agreed to work 14 years to win the love of Rachel.

It's no sin admire a beautiful woman, now can not do is fall into sin, as did Samson. He disobeyed the Lord and paid hefty price tag, because the evil uses of seduction strategy to remove the Christian path where he will find the blessing. Few resist the calls of this type.

What is the secret to find the strength and say loud and clear that the future in glory is better than the crumbs offered by Satan filled with fleeting beauty? The problem is that beauty seduces the eye, triggers the imagination and plays the man or woman in error.

Never forget that kindness is better than beauty. Not always one of rare beauty has beautiful heart. Inside, it can be quite dirty hatred, intrigue, confusion, envy and sense of defeat. The gifts of Jesus Christ are the best and last forever.

Be faithful in joy and sorrow

* Luis Alberto Alves

How many Christians can be faithful like Daniel before the lions in the den? Few! Most confesses fidelity to the Lord in calm, joy, when all goes well. There was a climate of turn with the wind blowing stronger. The strength of belief slows, taking action gossip, criticism and even rude words to our Almighty God, creator of our lives.

What is the reason people act this way? I saw the mighty hand of Jesus rid of the storm, storm, destruction of the disease? The goodness of Jesus are soon forgotten. Human beings are ungrateful by nature. The nature of Cain, killing the dreams of love reserved for the Lord's servants who persevere to the end of the walk without blaspheme. Firm in purpose.

It's like marriage. What are the husbands or wives who at the time of disease reach out to help, without loading the heart any criticism? At this time, the oath to be faithful in sickness and in health, in joy and sorrow, is quickly forgotten. Pushed under the carpet. The best deal is to look good in the film of joy. Moments of sadness should be ignored.

And you have remained faithful to the Lord? Or entered the team of selfish. Those who like to confess love for Jesus Christ when all is well, the sea of ​​low waves, the wind blowing weak and wallet full of money. I regret to tell you that you run the serious risk of not entering the Glory to the Lord. Not shown fidelity at all times. It was just a mercenary.

Ignored signs of the return of Jesus Christ

* Luis Alberto Alves 

World plunges ever deeper into bank announced by Jesus Christ during his stay here on Earth. He prophesied that would pass by wars, famines, earthquakes, tidal waves, appearance of false prophets. Finally he announced how it would be their turn, by the advance of these signals.

But the man continues to ignore the warnings of Jesus Christ. Think only the pleasures of the flesh. Not satisfied with his wife, looking happy to brothels or even in the mundane parties, where women are offered the same ritual used by prostitutes.

In the final year of the same scene is repeated in exhaustion: people overcrowd the supermarkets in search of food, especially fruits, meats and poultry. All aplenty. The rule is to clog food. Drink until you can not stop walking or start vomiting because of excess committed in the lunch or supper.

Few pay attention to the return of the signs of Jesus Christ. They close their eyes up to the serious political and economic crisis in which the world is going through. They do not realize that the growth of evangelical churches dishonest and cooling love of many confirm the return of the great master. If you act this way care: serious danger of losing the plane to the heavens.

Are you prepared to receive Jesus Christ in your life?

* Luis Alberto Alves
We live full of tasks and concerns. Especially during the long holidays. Our desire is to travel. Hit the road and get to the beaches, even with congested streets, long lines in supermarkets and delay finding a table at the restaurant in front of the sea.

 Everything deserves attention: college, your children, your wife or husband, job, friends, neighbors on the street. We never think about the future. The world we find after we close our eyes forever. Our attention is for this world, where the passenger is a registered trademark. Remember the song that was a hit last December? What drew your attention ten years ago?

It's the fashion. We care about the line of fashion. Slang that appear and disappear as fast as it appeared. We entered the treadmill of consumption. The important thing is to buy and buy more and more. We put aside the eternal friendship offered by Jesus Christ. To the great master almost never have time. Only at the time of the trouble we seek in our memories.

Never say that you are not prepared to accept the Lord in your life. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. We must open our hearts and let the Holy Spirit take up residence forever. It is the only viable resource to drive out of our way evil influences. It set aside the worries and take the eternal dependence of the kings of kings. I do not know how is your life right now, but God knows. The invite to come in and hold tight in your hand forever.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance

* Luis Alberto Alves

The book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, verse 4, talks about the weather. God is the creator, but here on this earth, where we are passing through, humans never took care to pay attention to him. Especially its effects in everyone's life.

Like children, newly converted Christians or old ministry, only learned to smile. Life in this type of human standpoint, is filled with joy. Only good days are part of the walk. Sorrows are but as utopias.

Fortunately the Lord is sincere. She warned by Solomon that there is a time to weep yes. When we shed tears from her eyes, felt the pain tearing the heart and deeply hurt the soul. Time that do not feel like leaving the house, put your feet on the street.

It is at this time that we learn to appreciate our achievements. Only when we feel intense thirst, we realize the importance of water glass or plate of food at the time of famine. Until marriage becomes important when suffering the turmoil of the crisis. So pay attention to the time to cry and smile. It will help you understand the Lord's designs for you.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful

* Luis Alberto Alves

How often sat together with scoffers and we open our mouth to speak ill of others? Within companies, over coffee or lunch, the ruindades repertoire is at his fingertips. In many cases, Christians end up doing this dirty work to the disappointment of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately few meditating on the Psalms, chapter 1, verse 1: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of mockers." The big problem is to walk uprightly.

Without any discrimination, I hear many women of sharp tongue, ready to get off the fuel to the co-worker. Whether because of the clothes, hair or even fragrance of perfume. But what is the reason to speak ill of others. Envy, elbow pain or even hatred?

When we're together of evil people, hardly hear good words. Their hearts are full of unfinished works. The reason Jesus Christ guide us to stay away from this type of meeting to preserve our salvation, that is, a clean heart, a passport to enter in Heaven.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth

* Luis Alberto Alves

In times of trouble, come to your rescue? Man or God? If you are faithful, the help will come from Jesus Christ, who is always with open ears to the cry of those who seek the truth, especially by dawn.

Today many people, especially in the countries plunged into serious political and economic crises, expect help from men. Theirs is possible to obtain palliative. Not peace of mind. Only God in his infinite mercy is able to comfort us in our time of tribulation.

When it comes despair, whether in job loss or even death of a loved one, few can have discernment to look and look at the top, there in heaven, the mighty hand of the Lord. Most look down, seeking human help, you can do nothing.

 In this time of great turmoil in the world, I advise you to rest in the arms of the Lord. Do not lose faith and confidence that help will come from those who created everything that exists. He is sufficiently able to bring help in resolving the most serious problems. Even those considered impossible by the world.
