When the alliance breaks-4

* Luís Alberto Alves

It is not easy to keep up the covenant with Jesus Christ. There are times of sadness and loneliness. Especially when the fights arrive (and they will appear in the way of every Christian), we think that God has abandoned us. We visualize the situation with our eyes, leaving aside the Holy Spirit. At this hour, satan comes into action bombarding our minds with filthy thoughts.

The young man looks at people his age, lost in the clutches of demons, and imagines that they are happy to smoke a marijuana cigarette, snorting cocaine, taking tablets compounded of synthetic drugs, bound to perverted and reproved relationships by God. He thinks he's in the wrong world, for being obedient and having a good life.

So it is with the honest official in a company where corruption is widespread. At times he thinks he's wrong and his service colleagues are right. What about a husband faithful to his wife, in a world where infidelity is already considered normal? And the woman, who's been married for so many years, in the hairdressing salon, hearing that it's good to have lovers to spice up the relationship?

To the world, where the evil one lies, the covenant with God is lacking, something for no purpose. In this view, woman does not have to date and date to get married. Just join and end the conversation! No compromise. As for boys, smart is who to have sex with as many girls. This is the smart one, not who decided to date someone seriously.
