Luís Alberto Alves
As evangelicals we make the same mistake. We waste time comparing denominations. Judging ministries, finding defects, as if there was a perfect church. Like a stone tied to the heel, the weight of the past, depending on the person's experience, will subtly drag you to the bottom of the sea of incredulity.
Within us there is the struggle between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh, our human nature, will always seek the terrain, the things of this world, it will never aim at Heaven. It is the famous and sad fall to sin, with the justification of “nothing to do”. The flesh will never be pleased to see the body during a vigil, couples meeting or youth retreat.
The human side will seek the satisfaction of desires, especially of a sexual nature. How many courts of evangelicals do not skip for fornication? How many girls, still teenagers, daughters of parents converted to the Gospel of the Lord, do not become pregnant? It happened in the 20th century and it continues to happen today.
