Can Christian stay away from the internet?

* Luís Alberto Alves

In everything we must have moderation. Radicalism has never been and will never be healthy. The internet has good materials, example of these are these texts that I publish in this blog. Common sense must guide the life of the Christian. Trash does not deserve to stay on your computer. Articles, music, cartoons, photographs or any material harmful to the Word of God can never be in your hands. Make the same our organism, which expels what it does not lend. Be wise and you will see the Glory of God.

Exemple of life

* Luís Alberto Alves

Every Christian must be a good example of life. Never shamed the Gospel of Christ. It can never be a stumbling block. At work you need to give an example of professionalism. Do not enter into rebellion and especially stay away from the gossipers' wheels. At home, it should never be a shame for the family. At school, the same behavior must be repeated. It's difficult. Because satan will struggle to put difficulty in the way of this Christian. But whoever fights to the end will keep the crown of life above his head and enter the heavens.

Pastors become depressed

* Luís Alberto Alves

Unfortunately any pastor can feel the damaging effects of a depression. Ministerial life is hectic. It is not just preaching the Word. It is to rescue struggling members, counsel couples on the verge of separation, visit sick in hospitals, incarcerated, solve church financial problems, keep up with the rules of ministry, and seek to keep the ball of this team always rolling standing up. Pastor also has family and domestic problems, sometimes professional, because many work outside the ministry. Since it is not a machine, it soon feels the effects of this wear and tear. After all, he's not superman.

Do my prayers please the Lord?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Do your prayers please the Lord? Because of the daily rush, we got up worried about the work schedule, the school or the children's college. Let's go to the bathroom to wash your face, brush your teeth, change your clothes, have a quick coffee and walk on the road. We do not even thank God for the night of sleep and the wonderful day He gave us. The Lord does not want to hear monologues, but a dialogue of a servant who truly loves him.

In joy and pain

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today we live a gospel that ignores pain. It places in the head of people that with Christ everything is joy. We'll never cry again. We enter the best of the worlds. Many go to church and soon leave, when the first bombs of difficulties burst. Equally spoiled children accustomed to nursing on Mom's lap, do not risk taking the first step. They do not know that in pain, it is when Jesus Christ is teaching us to keep our feet.

Faith at all times

* Luís Alberto Alves

Faith is something few Christians understand. It is the moments of pain, where we think we are alone. When we look around us and no one reaches out to help us. Even so, we continue to look forward to victory. It is difficult, but the servants of God should never look at the water, but firm their eyes on Jesus Christ, the promise of eternal life.

False worship invades the churches

* Luís Alberto Alves

In many countries false worship took over the altars of the evangelical churches. They are songs of high help disguised as praises to God. Many artists have invested in Gospel Music in search of lost fame in the world and, of course, money. The letters conflict with the Gospel and present grave errors of theology. I write without fear of error, it is praise that does not please God nor does it reach Heaven. It is Satan transforming worship into pure commerce and fashion to transfigure the Gospel.
