As Christians, we can not imitate the Romans

* Luís Alberto Alves

That the world is immersed in dirt, is not news to anyone. Now the Christian must take sides and do not participate in this filth. Currently the lifestyle of people, mainly Christian, mimics the current standard at the time of the Roman Empire, where orgy was something natural.

Paganism is another open wound in the evangelical world. People do not put images of saints on the walls, but venerate certain television programs, plays, and even secular music artists. When questioned answer, "has nothing to do."

Today, the same perversion existing at the time of the Roman emperors is present in homes and even in the workplace. People have lost respect for others. Sexual relations exist in this century only to indulge at will, as animals do.

Women are sold for so little. In churches is pregnant teenager routine or young couples hooked by fornication. All naturally without any fear of Jesus Christ. I think that the standard of Heaven is this little shame existing in this world.

Faith only for material gains

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today, people go to evangelical cults to seek material gains. Few are interested in the spiritual. The important thing is to fill the current account cash and raise the credit card limit, and also buy a mansion and put in the garage car supercaro.

Salvation is subject to faces pastors. The top is addressed in preaching that we should be happy in this world. After all no one really knows what heaven is like. It is better to take precautions. Suddenly someone will spend ammunition in faith and not enter Paradise.

In some denominations it is prohibited to bring word addressing salvation. In view of the mercantilists of faith that matter astonished new sheep only interested in entering the club of millionaires. The pulpit has become a spectacle, the same television program.

When the service is aimed at young people, the business is to preach motivation. They should study, earn a lot of money, enjoy the pleasures of life, and then when you get to 50, start thinking about salvation. In this case anything goes, even prostitution. God is not pleased with anything.

he world is in the church

* Luís Alberto Alves

In the 1950s, the evangelical church kept the purity of the Lord. People had reverence before, during and after the preaching of the Word. There was respect. Be luxurious or simple temples, built of wood, prevailed respect, because there God would use a servant to speak.

It ruled what was written in the Bible. Not entered through the "guesswork". No one was allowed to talk about issues that were not guided by the Word of Jesus Christ. All done with order and decency, by both men and women.

opposite of today as well, when churches in the vast majority, have become the point of consumption. Even alcoholic beverages. Women, especially teenagers, abuse low-cut clothes, leaving her breasts exposed. Not to mention the heavy makeup.

The world, so criticized by many pastors today entered into several churches. Praise copied to the Heavy Metal style, complete with black clothes. The pulpit before sacred, is occupied by people with no commitment to the Lord. It is apostasy confirmed.

Jesus Christ was human and knows his limitations

* Luís Alberto Alves

Jesus knows his limitations. Never will ask for something that you do not have conditions to do. He when he lived here on this planet, was human. I felt hunger, thirst, sleep, wanted to go to the toilet, perspiring and even came to tears. It was not superman. He left his powers in heaven.

But man forgets this fact. Imagine that the claims of Jesus Christ are difficult to meet. Tasks only aimed at gifted. People are able to perform functions under extreme conditions. As in science fiction movies.

Jesus knows our limits. We understand how far we can get. Not executioner. But unfortunately the human being thinks otherwise. Criticizes anything that the Lord ask. Even when God asks us something simple, like forgive others.

So my brother, stop complaining. Never say that Jesus knows his limitations, who were you know what happens. He knows all our hardships, especially when we think about giving up and throw it all up.

When sin is in the church

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today, the evangelical church does not look anything like its like the early Christian era, as narrates the book of Acts. It is almost non-existent fervor in the search for the Holy Spirit or even to open our hearts and shed before the Lord.

Some denominations are similar to supermarkets, because of the large number of sold trinkets there. Of course, all in the name of the Gospel. Many evangelicals movie CDs are pirated. When questioned, they claim that it is to help win souls for the Lord.

The pulpit before sacred place where the wicked one had access, even if it was someone influential in society, now lost their reverence. Any disturbed full of the demons use to say heresies or even harm others with profanity.

Before synonymous with good character, grid part of the evangelical cultivates sin within the churches where congregate. Adopt lousy witness. When someone visits the place to find God, faces almost naked young adults speaking ill of others, and married women behaving equal prostitutes.

It's hard to thank Jesus for the blessings?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Christians are ingrates. When looking to win some blessing, they live in churches all the time. Fast, pray, participate in vigils and to evangelise. After winning goal, they disappear from the Lord's house. They act the same self-serving.

Repeat the gesture of the lepers. How many returned after the cure of the disease? Only one returned by the miracle of having clean skin of leprosy. Thus it is today. A full church, only a minority thanks the Lord for the gift of salvation.

But why man acts this way? What is the reason for this selfishness? Jesus did not deserve more gratitude? This is how the human mind. Digger. Only runs into the arms of the Lord in times of difficulty, when the water rises and begins to drown him.

But I warn you that in heaven there are no houses for those who behaves this way. There is still time for you to review your concepts and move to act with other principles. Let the side of selfishness, this brand belongs to the devil, who was proud from the beginning of creation.

We must do the same Elijah

*Luís Alberto Alves

The prophet Elijah is one of the men used by God we must imitate. I sought the Lord intensely. I had the courage to challenge 850 prophets of evil, knowing that God will not be ashamed. Of course it was flawed to the point of running away from fear of Jezebel.

But he was a man of prayer. She thirsted for the Lord. It was not accommodated. Today, part of Christians await the blessings fall from heaven. Do not strive to obtain them. Treat Jesus Christ as if he were employed or butler. In view of these people, God must meet all our vanities.

Few who spend time in the Father's arms. Few strive to get it by dawn. Much less do fasting. Just think of receiving, never give in. Even pray for others, so when they spend a few seconds in prayer.

Business is navigating social networks. Post the selfies, spreading gossip or criticize pastors who preach holiness to enter Heaven. The Gospel, in view of this Christian minority, only require the Lord's blessings, then rub in the faces of others, as revenge. Conversion to this people !!!
