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 has 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.
