God does not have the guilt for not guilty

* Luís Alberto Alves

Many Christians now play with God. They imagine that He is a fallen, blind old man and finds it difficult to follow our steps here on this planet. How much mistake! Based on this false premise, they plunge into sin. They think that the Lord will not be seeing lies, worship of pornography, lying, laziness, rebellion, theft, robbery, fornication, idolatry and falsehood, among other sins.

At this time of year, the same scene is repeated in several churches: empty benches and most of the members dipped in shopping malls satisfying the hunger for consumption and Mammon's thirst. The deal is to buy up the salary and the 13th comes to an end. It does not matter if the wardrobe no longer has room to put anything else. The goal is to buy and buy, even if it is to leave "mocking" in the corner of the bedroom, living room or attic.

To invite the brothers to intercessory prayer, to climb the hill or even to rehearse some praise or play is to fall into ridicule. At this time of year, it is looking for scabies to scratch. The church and Jesus Christ are set aside. The important thing is to satisfy the desires of the flesh, the most sinful. Nothing to worry about the presence of the Lord, but with the blessing.

Others seek to be far from Jesus Christ. They can not stay away from the dishes offered by darkness. The dances of the world, where terrible songs of praise for prostitution, drug use, rebellion, fornication, lies and crime, fascinate men and women of God, who are unfortunately weak in faith. The peace provided by the Lord is not enough. The business is to get into the thrill offered by satan and his demons.
