Book preview

A Dominated World

It seems the world is being dominated,

Virtually everything is being changed.

Things do not happen naturally,

It is observed that everything is going badly.

––––––––

People only think about violence and killing,

The love for each other, they are not practicing.

There is no confidence in anyone,

The betrayal has ruled over everyone.

––––––––

People do not want to do what is fair,

Each one desires to be cleverer.

The consequences of the actions are not perceived,

All righteous action was perverted.

––––––––

Each one follows his wicked ways,

Forgetting about love and true ways.

The truth is, the Lord has created us,

And the right path, He showed us.

––––––––

God said what must be made by each one,

Following Him, eternal life is given to everyone.

But just a few people consider his teaching,

They are more concerned about immediate things.

––––––––

The Lord God, everyone must seek,

At the time that everyone can still find Him.

After his people have been taken,

They will seek, but He will not be found by them.

Some Christians on Social Media

Social media are very mighty,

They are enormous in their reach capability.

All things reach everyone in every place,

The networks make easy ways to communicate.

––––––––

The Christian is present in all networking,

But it is not always that they are evangelizing.

In different manners, they might be behaving,

They might be doing shaming things.

––––––––

Some people love to write indirect publications,

They never talk to those who can solve the situation.

They spread everyone their disappointment,

They feed wars inside of them.

––––––––

Other people write everything without thinking,

They share openly what they want to say,

They forget that God commanded care about talking,

The commandment is also valid for typing.

––––––––

Some people only want self-promotion,

They announce everything and all action.

They even share the most intimate supplication,

They want to be seen by others and get admiration.

––––––––

Finally, there are Christians of the hypocrisy,

They love to share phrases, messages, and these things,

But in their lives, there is none of this.

They are religious for the whole network sees,

But they did not want to regret the sin.

––––––––

These behaviors have to end,

Networks must be used to evangelize,

And do not for self-promotion and to scandalize.

Through them, many people can be saved,

It only depends on what each one has shared.

Manipulated Gospel

Some services are for manipulation,

They want to force the Gospel’s conversion.

A friendly and pleasant climate is created,

The spectator feels affected.

––––––––

Then, some Biblical text will be read,

It is a word previously prepared for it.

It was prepared to produce an outcome,

Generating regretting actions in someone.

A sentimental song is being played,

The endless repetition of some words is made.

Everything generates some feelings,

So, the person accepts Jesus and believes in Him.

––––––––

There is a big mistake trying to manipulate conversion,

The Holy Spirit is in charge of this transformation.

The people do not have to force this,

Regret and changes come from the Holy Spirit.

The gospel must always be proclaimed,

But it is the Holy Spirit who proves the sin.

The real Gospel shall be preached by everyone,

Opening hearts for God working in each one.

Gospel Complete

The preaching of the gospel must be complete,

It cannot be only pleasant things.

The preaching must always tell the truth,

It cannot be just about what is good.

––––––––

This gospel is based on satisfaction,

It wants to please the heart of the person.

This one does not matter about the real message,

It draws Christ with a new image.

––––––––

It is the image of Jesus Christ, the servant,

His function is only to be like an attendant,

He is not considered the author of salvation,

They do not think about his sacrifice and affliction.

––––––––

The gospel must come back to its origins,

The pure gospel saves people from their sins.

The gospel that shows Jesus crucified,

Cross’ gospel to forgive all sins of each life.

This kind of gospel must be revived.

––––––––

Everyone can be saved with
