* Luís Alberto Alves
It is sad for Jesus and for the servants of the Lord when the news of a brother or sister who resolves to return to the spiritual garbage dump from where one day came out to the light is revealed. This is common among artists, footballers or famous personalities. After some time they leave the presence of God to return to the martyrdom, disguised by satan of a false frame of light.
In a time of perverted gospel, with error taking the place of right, and people imagining that Jesus is their slave to serve all their desires, little is meditated on the Words of the Lord. Christ was emphatic in saying through Luke, chapter 9, verse 62 the following: "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God."
We all have a past. Sometimes little merry or sad. There are brothers who suffered in childhood, others in adolescence, some went through despair as adults; At last the marks left a spat on the soul. When we are freed, we can never miss this time of horror. Christ wants us looking forward. But when it comes to artists, for example, they try to remember the time of success, ignoring the terror of drug addiction, of life attached to prostitution, and the agony of living without peace of mind.
The warning of Jesus Christ continues. In Revelation, chapter 3, verses 15 and 16, He says that "He knows our works, He knows when someone is neither cold nor hot. How best it would be if this person were cold or hot! For being warm, neither cold nor hot, He is about to spit it out of his mouth. " It is cruel to hear those words from God. Before the true conversion, all of us were cold. But by knowing the love of Christ we become warm.
