The power struggle between Christians

* Luís Alberto Alves

The most disputed place in a church is the pulpit, especially in full membership services. It is the showcase for ego satisfaction. At election time, wrong, some denominations invite politicians, most often, corrupt and full of sin, to bring the Word.

Within certain evangelical churches, the power struggle is fierce. The target of attention is disputed. There are pastors, bishops and reverends who dispute the place to slap. They want their moment of fame to kill vanity seat. Usually they never bring something edifying.

There are churches where ever this space is given to anyone. The pastor or the local bishop always do the preaching. Never let someone else take his place. Ali vomits rules and even advice that Jesus Christ never happened to anyone. What counts is to take the place of fame.

In fact, what is at stake is the moment of fame. It is seen by many people, without question. After all during the preaching of the pastor or bishop are not interrupted. They talk more than an hour, sometimes words without any content and harmony with God.
