The Drug Problem and its Solution.

Image
The Drug Problem and its solution. We have watched daily by the media to increase the consumption of drugs worldwide. It is common to hear say that such a place became a "Cracolândia" due to the invasion of space for "smoking" and "sell" the rock of crack. And as people have reached the most varied walks of life! They are broken families, broken homes, careers that were inevitably interrupted, stagnant lives. Some have dubbed it "rock-the-devil." Governments invest millions in public awareness of the problem, companies engage in advertising, but it seems nothing can stop this runaway train. Everyone knows the harmful effects on the body and that dependence will lead the addict to death in a short time. A disturbing question arises: What makes people opt for the drugs, knowing that self-destruct? Because this waiver to life? The liberalism of today, many mistakenly choose the "everything is a matter of personal freedom of choice....

The effect of righteousness will be peace and injustice and lawlessness!

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.Ezekiel 36:26 Every day you hear and see news such as: "Father kills son, women are mug by her husband, the elderly are malted newborn is abandoned, thieves break in and kill" ... This is nothing more than a reflection of a society that more and more turned away from God. Human nature is very far from being improved. It's not like a house that needs minor repairs such as replacing a tile or make a plaster on the ceiling. No, it is completely corrupted.Until his foundation is ruined.From roof to foundation, there is a beam that has not even been eaten by termites.There is more solidity, is all rotten and ready to collapse. God makes no attempts or experiments with man, He did not anchor the walls with stakes or paint the doors again full of termites, not decorates and beautifies, but stipulates that the old house is complet...

God, the watchmaker and the Church.

Image
What you see when you open a clock that works with clockwork?   See certain gears that rotate in a counterclockwise direction that are linked to other working clockwise. Your first impression may be that the master watchmaker has gone mad and confused. Instead, he got so the mechanism of this clock and put the mainspring to control all your gear, which when wound, although a gear rotate clockwise and the other counterclockwise, they all work together to move the hands around the dial in precisely the right speed. Many gears seem to work against each other, but they all work together for the same purpose to show the exact time   This is exactly how God works, as the Master watchmaker, he got the engine of your Church so that for many it seems that everything is out of control. Some are conservative, since other liberals, and radicals of the ultras has two senses, and who does not know the manufacturer's manual, the Bible, it seems that "everything is wrong....

Who washes the dishes or garbage strip?

In Galatians 6:10 Paul says, "let us do good to everyone, but especially to the family of faith." Our good deeds should reach all people, Christians or not. We should follow the example of our Heavenly Father who "makes his sun rise on good and bad, and sends rain on the just and unjust."  Notwithstanding the statement of Paul is a priority of responsibility: after the first believers and unbelievers. I think we can draw from this order, a priority similar regarding our families. We should do good to all men, but mostly of our family. Paul told Timothy: "If anyone does not care for her and especially to his own house, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever" (1 Timothy 5:8). Good works should begin at home. If we go out to do good works while the other "forgotten" the needs of the wife, spouse, daughter, grandson, mother, father, father-in-law ..... we are not exercising the grace of goodness or good works.   A...

THE ISSUE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THE BIBLE

Image
No doubt the Bible is the strong theme of social justice. In the Old Testament it comes to attitudes towards the disadvantaged: the poor, widows, orphans and foreigners at harvest time, the Israelites were to leave them a little (Dt.24 :19-21). Interest loans are prohibited (Ex.22: 25). All persons, including slaves and immigrants have the right to rest on the Sabbath (Ex.23: 12). Slaves should not be treated with rigor (Lv.25 :39-43). There is a clear relationship between poverty and oppression, God exhorts the Hebrews to remember that one day they were slaves (Dt.26 :5-8). The God of Exodus intervenes in favor of the poor and oppressed, who are his people. The message of the Prophets was quite explicit: "Seek justice, Fulfil the oppression" (Is.1: 17). The Prophets cried out against the rich and powerful who oppressed the poor, and most strongly against indgnaram a separate religion of justice (Os.8: 13), (Am.5: 15, 21:25), (Mq.6: 6) (Is.58:1-11; ...) God a...

Christian social action and technology.

This depends on the past and the future depends on it. The XXI century is characterized by the dam, which in the past lasted thousands of years to occur, this has happened a couple of years and the future still seems to run faster. The Christian Social Action of the future must be done today should have happened yesterday. Christianity has lost much time, apparently asleep, face the challenges and opportunities of the modern world. Man is essentially a social being, but has become a cold machine, cynical, manipulative. On the contrary, we see a wave of mysticism and spirituality, as evidence of the need to feel more love, faith and hope. The basis of all Christian action must be love. At all times, places and situations that love should be present as a characteristic of Christians (Jo13. 35). The world has always needed, and I have no need of love expressed in practical actions and deep (Rm12.9 -18). The Christian Church must be attentive to opportun...

The clamor for Democracy and the prophetic calendar.

Image
We have experienced democracy as political system works best at this time. He gives us certain freedoms unknown in history.  At this time, there is no viable system compared to democracy. Democracy is on everyone's lips, especially since the stunning and unexpected fall of the Iron Curtain. Not a day passes without some report on television, something that speaks about the progress of democracy. Some have called for full freedom and others of the liberation of humanity. Still others say that democracy is the right given by God to all men on earth. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the symbol that separates the West from the East, communism and capitalism, we see democracy in motion, is considered today (democracy) is the absolute answer to every problem the world. A few years ago, communism was perhaps the most powerful in the world. Today is no longer a real threat to capitalism, democracy is on stage, front and right in the center. It is new and unique power at the...
