Church needs to prepare more

* Luís Alberto Alves

In the middle of the 21st century, most evangelical churches are not prepared to face the new challenges of this generation. Many are still mindful of the start of counter reform. In others, it seems that time continues to stagnate. God asks the leaders to open their spiritual and material eyes, discovering resources of how to win more souls to the Lord.

It is good to read the Bible, but we can not leave the knowledge provided at this time in the background. Technology exists by God's permission. He shed knowledge about the minds and projects, which were dreams, today is reality. We need to take advantage, on the positive side, to increase the preaching of the gospel, driving out the stagnation of the Christian world.

Vanities should be left out. Sharing knowledge is important, especially with people who have recently arrived at the work. Teach the liturgy and how to work with certain situations that will appear in the course of the preaching of the Word. After all, nobody is born knowing anything. Unfortunately, teachers are missing to fill this gap.

When a church focuses on this requalification, the ministry grows and reaches different lives. They use technology for the Kingdom of God. Young people are involved in this issue and need to be better exploited. It is wrong to leave that portion of Christian members aside. They must be incorporated into the body of workers and depart from the forces of evil.
