* Luís Alberto Alves
Evil days are present before our eyes. The television shows show every day the tragedies that occur in different regions of this planet. Terrorist attacks are considered routines, mainly in the Middle East and now in Europe. In Latin America, misery plagues millions of people, not to mention Africa, totally abandoned by the great powers.
When we get up in the morning to go to work or school, we sometimes think about what lies ahead. Traffic has turned into a battlefield. Drivers argue for bullshit, even because of the delay in opening the traffic light. Soon the sound of the horns begins to bother. It is the impatience exploding.
In marital relationships, a small spark causes the fire of gigantic discussions. In short, the population lives just like a barrel full of gunpowder, about to throw everything in the air. The love of many people diminishes every day. The current rule is "each one's own". The others, who can be our relatives and friends, who see each other.
In this context, it is millions of Christians living. The minority is concerned with praying and crying out to the Lord for his mercy. But most are focused on blessings. They set aside the goal of living in Heaven. The important thing is to fill the current money account, take the car of the year in the garage, cram the wardrobe of shoes, clothes and all sorts of luxury items.
