FOR WHERE WALKS TODAY THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH? We have to confess: we do not know for where the Christian church of the
skill walks that goes. It became object business-oriented. Many churches today are confused with companies. the main customers are the believers. The object of venda is the bible broken up in packages and, is said of ticket, very expensive. Some of these evangélicas companies are known: CPAD, CENTRAL OFFICE GOSPEL, MK, PUBLISHING FAVOUR, GRAPHICAL UNIVERSAL, ETC. The motto now is “Develops a Strategy of Market”, “Carefully, Selects the Best Salesmen”. These salesmen finish being the leading shepherds or who are below in the hierarchic structure. We are ahead of a apostasia with market intention. The education of Jesus is distorted. These
practical of the church make to appear some concepts on it, are given by its members, are for that they observe them. Many churches already had been lost, others are the way. Some say to be the consisting church of brothers in communion and blind obedience the leader shepherd, the angel of the church, intermediary between Jesus Christ and the believers. Others say that the church is the community Dos Santos who does not speak with “the people of the world”, “obeys” the customs of its congregation in vestments, offers, tenths and ahead takes care of the invocations with humble of the “practical saints” of the “men of God”. The ones that does not approve these concepts strike, saying: Not! The church is a community of that already they are predestined to the salvation. Already of more charismatic line they retrucam: Not! The church is the body of Christ in movement where it has strange languages, sapateado, prophecies, dreams, visões, revelations, gone in the sky, much fire and contribution to extend the patrimony of the company of the ministry. Finally, of neo-pentecostal trend they protest: It is not nothing of this! The church is the place where if it must search cure interior, physical health, financial health, prosperity, to take off the encostos; place of therapy of the love and society with God. Of these practical the concept of the believer of our days is born: that one is that faithful fulfills to the manual of its denomination or congregation, making everything direitinho consuming its products of the skill that comes without questioning or criticizing. It would be this that Jesus calls in the church bible? It said: “… I will build my church…” (Mt16.18). later it says: “… you will be my witnesses…” (At.1.8). Here the church concept is born, as being a group of people converted evangelho that they give
certification of Jesus, who makes what it made, that teaches what it taught and commanded. “Because I gave the example to you, so that, as I made you, you also make you” (Jo 13,15). On the certification of the church told in acts of the apóstolos (At. 2.42-47) are in the said one that: Perseveravam in the doctrine, the communion, leaving of the bread and the conjuncts. All the ones that had believed were together and had everything in common. The apóstolos made many miracles and wonders and the people were admired and with fear. When she had necessity, vendiam its properties in favor of the cause of evangelho. The God praised and falls all in the favour of the people. E still: “With many other words gave certification…” (At.2.40). “Jesus in ordered them to announce evangelho to the people and to testify that it was rank for God as Judge of the livings creature and deceased” (At.10.42). “Not you envergonhes, therefore, of the certification of ours Sir…” (2Tm 1,8). In reality terms it would be utopia to want that the alive church as the primitive church lived, however, convém-in them to follow the examples of them. Senão we will be lost while we feed our materialistic and mercantilistas interests, dived in the delights of the sea of the hypocrisy of that they proclaim peace when it does not have peace. They boast livening when it has only emotions and announcements of blessings to pull out some advantage of fiés (innocent useful). Please, plus one it only asks: “… when to come the Son of the Man, will find, porventura, faith in the land” (Lc.18.8). God, Has mercy of that they are deceptive, mercy of been deceptive and the mercy of me that many times I silence when I see your word being deturpada. EDGAR RIBEIRO
