We are in the time of Christian individualism

* Luis Alberto Alves

We live in an age of strong individualism in the church of Jesus Christ. People only care about themselves. Interest only to the possible achievements that the Lord can pour on them. Others stay enjoying your sorrows and frustrations.

Few remember the verse where God guides us that we should "rejoice with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep." Currently the cry of our brother in faith is page turns. The important thing is to look at their navels.

Sometimes a pastor can not discern where there is more individualism among young people or adults. All, exceptionally, surfing on the same sea: the pride. Not pray for another within the church can. They think only in their own blessings.

The conclusion of this situation shows the cooling of love. Solidarity is forgotten word in various denominations. Good aim is in the attic, valued in millions of Ferrari or McLaren, beach house, farm and money in the account. Reminder: God does not like proud. Who thought so was cast out of heaven.
