* Luís Alberto Alves
I notice in several evangelical churches that young audiences are restricted only to praise, preferably tuned in to the rhythm of techno, house and rock. It is as if their world revolves only around music. That they do not think let alone face daily struggles. Some pastors do not even allow some of them to bring the word into worship. They can only hear, but never talk.
They are at the height of adrenaline and seek to discharge this energy, but without finding space within the church. Soon they begin to associate the Gospel with something grimace, without perspective, because at this stage of life people seek novelties. They do not like routine, of stagnation. They look to the future always, they want to advance fast in the realization of their dreams.
It is wrong to leave this important public aside. It must be heard, because sometimes their suggestions are of great importance. Why today the devil focused fire is on this portion of the population to end the fear of God. Instead of countering this strategy of the enemy, some churches unconsciously aid Satan and his demons when they discriminate against the youth in the congregation.
We need to open our eyes more. Leave the sameness. Pray to Jesus Christ for our Master to give us strategies of struggle so that we can rid the young of the terrible future that evil lives to plan for them. Selfishness must be set aside. Otherwise, they will increase the statistics of drug addicts, murderers, thugs and perverts in our society.
