The Spiritual coldness of christ's church (James 4:4; I John 2:15-16)


My brothers and my sisters today I would like to meditate with you about spiritual coolness feel proofing at Christ Church. When notice that I ask: what are the reasons for that? We don't always have the answer clear in our minds and we started the "witch hunt". Well we're cold because this and this, we're cold because the pastor guy ... We are cold because the ministries ... And so on and so forth. The list of "vindictive" is huge. It's amazing because almost always not in photo included as responsible for this spiritual coldness and in the Church today in day. we use frequently the terms: the Church, this church and almost never use the term. This is the evidence that we excluded from the process when it comes to negative things in the Church even though she feel. If it's something positico found a way to incliuirmos the procedure and until msmo a way to appear as co-workers of what is happening.

But my brothers and my sisters nowadays there is a wave of negative things reaching the Church of Christ. They never have to tear down the Church, because there's a promise of our Lord that the gates of hell shall not prevalecarão your church. Hallelujah! But are things that slow down the process, bring sadness to all and true servants and handmaids of the Lord that are doing the work with their hearts

To day. we use frequently the terms: the Church, this church and almost never use the term. This is the evidence that we excluded from the process when it comes to negative things in the Church even though it feel. If it's something positive found a way to We include the procedure and until even a way to appear as co-workers of what is happening.

But my brothers and my sisters nowadays there is a wave of negative things reaching the Church of Christ. They never have to tear down the Church, because there's a promise of our Lord that the gates of hell shall not they will prevail his church. Hallelujah! But are things that slow down the process, bring sadness to all and true servants and handmaids of the Lord that are doing the work with their hearts open to the action of the Holy Spirit. A classic example is: one person causes a lot of problems inside the Church. When discovery and urged (and usually fails to comply with the admonition) that person rebel leave Church shooting everywhere. Talk about it, talk about that, that and that. But after a while even without any change in comportment of this person to membership of the Church begins to besiege this person like nothing happened. The sinful person against the Church of Christ comes to be Queen or King and thinks that everyone who urged were wrong, worsens each day more and more and more rebel against the Church, thanks to cooperation of members which blend "garlic with brugalho". Be more objective in the example: Are people rebels leaving the Church and those who remain instead of helping in the exhortation to fix with God. Invite to rebels for meetings, always looking for a way to introduce to rebels in programming’s Church as if the rebels were the other or the other. Now this is serious sin and who supports the rebellion ends up being accomplice in front of God. But back to the initial term: Why all this happens? In my humble view is because people are increasingly close and distant world of God. The things of this world are calling more attention than the things of the Kingdom of God. So it is necessary to make a "medium" even with a brother or sister, especially if it will give me some social status. Are the values of the world that are ahead. It would be very interesting to give it a read carefully in the verses quoted above. In the first the placement is not to we turn friends in the world why from moment in which this happens we became enemies of God. In verses I Jo. 2:15 -16 the recommendation is to not love the world nor what's in it. IE: The worldly values. The servant and the servant of God must have clinical eyes and spirit of discernment to notice carefully when someone is acting out of worldly values lest if asociem them, become accomplices.

I'm sure that between many other things cluttering up the walk of Christ Church. But the main one is the absorption of worldly values. That God has mercy you and me to know where and with whom we working in the Kingdom. Amen.
