Do you prefer the wake or the joy of a party?

* Luís Alberto Alves

What weather do you prefer: the sadness and reflection of the funeral or the joy and falsity of a party? Of course, most will choose the relaxed ballad environment where the only concern is dancing, drinking, dating and escape problems. There, there is no room for concern.

But the Lord used Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes to say it is better to go to the wake, where people think in the future and what changes should be taken not to lose space in glory than balance the body at parties, without any commitment Jesus Christ.

Christians of the 21st century, especially young people, just think of the Lord when they are within the church, cellular hands and hoping the service coming to an end. Or when facing the evil day of terror. Otherwise forget Jesus Christ. It use as disposable piece.

But I have bad news for you who thinks so: search obey the commandments of the Lord, before the evil days come, as described in Ecclesiastes chapter 12, and say you do not feel more pleasure in living. It does not mean you go live in funerals, but it is good to reflect on the wise words of God.
