PASTORAL WORD- THE TIMES IN WHICH THEY PREFER TO HEAR LIES (II Tim. 4: 3-4)

PASTORAL WORD-the TIMES in which THEY PREFER to HEAR lies (II Tim. 4: 3-4) My brothers and my sisters I would like to meditate with you today once again on this fear, because I feel that every day serious churches, Church of v, historic churches are losing ground to movements that arise with appearance and name of the Church are snatching crowds and even the members of our communities. The preaching of Biblical/Theological point of view hardly got anything. Only read the isolated verses that suits them, completely out of biblical context. Some of the statements which they say is reaching biblical on the brink of ridiculous. Salvation in Christ and eternal life are no longer tracks and ceded the promises of financial prosperity, fame, prominent places in society. Ones that scare me, because when looking at the word of God seriously I see exactly the opposite of all th My brothers and my sisters I would like to meditate with you today once again on this fear, because I feel that every day serious churches, Church of  historic, churches are losing ground to movements that arise with appearance and name of the Church are snatching crowds and even the members of our communities. The preaching of Biblical/Theological point of view hardly got anything. Only read the isolated verses that suit them, completely out of biblical context. Some of the statements which they say are reaching of the biblical point of view  the brink of ridiculous. Salvation in Christ and eternal life are no longer tracks and ceded the promises of financial prosperity, fame, prominent places in society. Ones that scare me, because when looking at the word of God seriously I see exactly the opposite of all this. See Jesus saying: "A Not accumulate treasure on Earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves dig and steal. But you accumulate treasure in heaven where moth and rust do not corrode and thieves do not dig or steal. Because where your treasure is there will your heart ". Mercy my God! "Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you." But what we're looking at being preached in the churches today? In fact the pursuit of conquest of all of this. Be an evangelical nowadays means get ready to be rich. I don't discount that possibility. We can Yes get rich serving the Lord. In fact, he in time. But the principle is the same. Accumulated treasures in heaven and the Kingdom of God being sought in the first place. Then Yes. If they do the riches they came from God. The eyes of the people need to be directed toward salvation. Everything in this world passes. And then what's left? What is the material wealth? I believe that God can and want to give up riches to his servants and handmaidens. But he must always be in the first place. We must preach and wait for eternal salvation. It seems that preaching about salvation is out of fashion. The studies are no longer on Soteriology (doctrine of salvation) and about how to get rich. Have faith nowadays is synonymous with having wealth and those with no wealth is taxed for those who have no faith. People are taught to develop their faith in this line. With that the churches that do not preach in that direction are very difficult to attract people. People prefer to hear and believe more lies where the preachers preached on TV are not evaluated face to face and can't even be questioned personally, as are virtual, you hear your pastors who are here. Face to face. You may touch and be touched. Are preaching salvation in Christ as the first major objective. The rest comes as a consequence. These churches don't fill their temples and fight with many difficulties. Because it's not to hear about salvation that people are coming to Megs Churches nowadays. They go there to hear that their companies will thrive that will be able to pay off all his debts, shopping sites, farms, houses, apartments, luxury cars. But impressive is how seek to hear. Feel itching in the ears. Running from where are preaching the truth to go behind these Fables. We transcribe here the biblical text base today on the language version of today. "Because there will come a time when people aren't going to pay attention to the true teaching but will follow their own desires. And will arrange for themselves a lot of masters, who will tell them what they want to hear. And these people will no longer hear the truth to give attention to the legends ". (II Tim 4: 3 and 4) Compare with more traditional versions. What's happening is this. That's why serious churches are empty. But I believe in divine miracle. I believe that the Holy Spirit can open the understanding of many souls. So they know what they should hear what must believe. Amen. Rev. Jesué Francisco da Silva.
