O QUE É CARIDADE?
"De todas as virtudes, o maior destas é a CARIDADE." (1ºCo 13.13)
- É um termo derivado do latim CARITAS (afeto, amor), que tem origem no vocabulário grego CHÁRIS (graça);
- Significado: Benevolência, bom coração, compaixão.
- Tem o mesmo significado que o AGAPE. É um sentimento que pode ter dois sentidos: O sentimento para si mesmo, e ao próximo;
- O Cristianismo afirma que a CARIDADE é o "amar ao próximo com a si mesmo."
- A caridade também é vista como uma dádiva de si mesmo e o oposto de usar.
- A caridade pode ser entendida como um sentimento ou uma ação altruista de ajuda a alguém sem busca de qualquer recompensa;
- CARIDADE NA BÍBLIA:
. Fundamento das outras virtudes que ela anima, ispira e ordena: Sem não sou nada - e nada se aproveita (1º Co 13.-1).
- Paulo afirma: "De todas as virtudes, o maior destas é a CARIDADE." (1ºCo 13.13)
MINHAS CONSIDERAÇÕES:
O termo é pouco conhecido no meio evangélico devido a carência no exercício da mesma pelos cristãos, na vida de muitas pessoas que padecem. Não culpo a membresia, mas as liderançãs que os condicionaram a viverem desta forma, sem se importarem com as péssimas condições de vida que muitos vivem.
Chegar até uma pessoa e lhe passar apenas o conteudo Bíblico (o normal é entregar apenas um panfleto) de nada vai adiantar para PROMOÇÃO DO REINO DE DEUS. Porque o EVANGELHO DO REINO é para o homem por completo: considerando sua vida espiritual, psicológica, social e cultural. Olhar para o homem ou novo convertido como mais um número na estatística para a Instituição, demonstra a falência do Cristianismo atual.
Quando chegamos diante de uma pessoa que clama por socorro, devemos buscar todos os meios para oferecer ajuda, no exercício do Amor de Cristo. Este amor sacrificial e condicional de Cristo só será conhecido diante dos homens através da vida diária do cristão por onde ele for e com quem estiver (pessoas que Deus vai colocar diante de seus filhos para oferecer ajuda).
Ao longos de décadas, a maior parte das Instituições Religiosas Cristão, não exercitaram juntamente com os seus membros a prática da CARIDADE E FILANTROPIA na comunidade que as mesmas estão instaladas. Houve muita propagação de atividades dentros dos templos como: Vigilílias, consagrações, festividades, ensaios, conferências, seminários, cultos três a sete vezes por semana, entre tantos outros.
Na parte do Evangelismo, deram ênfase ao EVANGELISMO PESSOAL (corpo a corpo com entrega de panfletos convidando as pessoas para as programações no templo, sem muitas vezes se importarem com as condições de vida que aquela pessoa estar vivendo no momento da abordagem) e o EVANGELISMOS DE MASSA (ar livre, cruzadas). Estes dois eventos não alcança o homem na sua profundidade, ou seja, não busca a solução e se compromete em atender as necessidades do mesmo. Até porque, não é importante retirar dinheiro do caixa da Igreja para "gastar" com as pessoas. Pelo contrário, estas pessoas tem que trazer dinheiro para a Igreja e não o oposto. Assim, muitos são vistos como cifras (R$), como um dado estatístico, mais um ofertante, mais um dizimista, mais um trabalhador braçal para a construção da Igreja (e multirão para obra é o que não falta). O convertido que não traz resultados para determinada Instituição e só tráz gastos, não interessa para estas.
Hoje, o EVANGELISMO PESSOAL OU EM MASSA, deixaram de acontecer em quase todas as Denominações Evangélicas do nosso país, dando lugar para uma massificação de atividades internas, dentro das igrejas, tornando-se obesas e absoletas sem impactar a vida de nimguém, muito menos da comunidade onde estão. Pelo menos o contato corpo a corpo com as pessoas para entregar panfletos, praticamente estão em extinção.

Pelo menos o contato corpo a corpo com as pessoas para entregar panfletos, praticamente estão em extinção.
Nos tempos desta GLOBALIZAÇÃO, PRÉDIOS - CONTRUÇÕES DE TEMPLOS E PATRIMÔNIO VALE MAIS DO QUE O SER HUMANO. Muitos líderes importantes da nossa época estão se auto-destruindo e se gladiando entre si num mar de destruição e vergonha para o EVANGELHO. Aplicaram seu coração em acumular riquezas para si e os seus extraindo dos recursos doados para serem usados na Igreja. Quase todos são donos destas Igrejas - como o seu nome registrado como único proprietário, e usam e abusam do seu poder; acompanhados pelos seus familiares e uns poucos escolhidos para comerem também da gordura e das lãs tosquiadas das ovelhas - membros. Neste jogo de interesse e sugeira e ususpação da Palavra de Deus para seu benefício, o homem, o pecador, o ser humano na sua totalidade como exige o EVANGELHO DO REINO DE DEUS, não tem valor.
Decadas se passaram e houve muita perca de tempo com preocupações com costumes adotados nas igrejas (corte e pintura de cabelo, tipo de vestuário, convívio social - afastamento do pecador ou escarnecedor) e outras centenas de maluquices implantadas pelos funfadores e lideranças destas denominações que prefiro nem relatar.
Além do mais, os membros destas igrejas foram acustumados por seus pastores ou líderes de setor, a buscarem as bençãos de Deus apenas para si, para sua família, para alguns parentes e para alguns irmãos na fé (companheiros da mesma igreja ou denominação). Muitos chavões foram adotados e duram até hoje pelas igrejas:
- Hoje Deus vai te abençoar!
- Deus tem um benção para você antes de acabar este culto!
- hoje Deus vai te curar!
- Deus vai abrir uma porta de trabalho para você!
- Se envolva nos trabalhos da Igreja (na institiuição e não do Reino de Deus) que você verá o que Deus vai fazer na sua vida!
- Se apresente para trabalhar para a Igreja que a sua vida vai mudar para melhor!
- Continue entregando seus dízimos e ofertas e participe das campanhas (de prosperidade) e faça prova com Deus: Ele vai derramar muitas bençãos na sua vida!
Muitos então se tornaran egoístas, individualistas, soberbos (muitos por causa de cargos e títulos adquiridos); VIVENDO UM VIDA VOLTADA PARA SI MESMO, SEM SE IMPORTAR COM AS CAUSAS DOS AFLITOS (sendo estes cristãos ou não).
Pegamos um informativo, uma revista ou um jornal destas instituições e não vemos nenhum trabalho de MISSÃO INTEGRAL ou algum PROJETO DE PROMOÇÃO DA JUSTIÇA SOCIAL (atividades que envolva o pobre ou o necessitado), mas contemplamos matérias relatando a pompa, o luxo, os gastos e abusos com o dinheiro dos dízimos e ofertas esbanjados por muitos pastores e seus familiares, como se fosse um triunfo, um trofeu, um obreiro ou uma família abençoada por Deus. E os outros? E os que não estão nos cliks das máquinas fotográficas e dos vídeos editados? Há, são os amaldiçoados por Deus, a ralé, os desafortunados, os que não tem fé para vencer, os encostados, os rebeldes e desobedientes (dos seus líderes e de Deus), os que não participam de nada (não é trabalhador braçal ou empregado voluntário da instituição). EI, MERCENÁRIOS! EM BREVE O PASTOR DESTAS OVELHAS - JESUS CRISTO - VIRÁ E VOCÊS RECEBERÃO O RESULTADO DA VOSSA COLHEITA E DO SEU PÉSSIMO PASTOREIO!

what is love?
"Of all the virtues, the greatest of these is Charity." (1ºCo 13:13)
- It is a term derived from the Latin CARITAS (love, love), which comes from the Greek vocabulary Charis (grace);
- Meaning: Grace, good heart, compassion.
- Has the same meaning as the AGAPE. It's a feeling that can have two meanings: The feeling for yourself, and others;
- Christianity affirms that the Charity is "love your neighbor as yourself."
- Charity is also seen as a gift of oneself and the opposite of use.
- The charity can be understood as a feeling or an altruistic action helps someone without seeking any reward;
- CHARITY IN THE BIBLE:
. Foundation of the other virtues it animates, ispira and orders: No'm nothing - and nothing takes advantage (1 Co 13-1).
- Paul says: "Of all the virtues, the greatest of these is Charity." (1ºCo 13:13)
MY REGARDS:
The term is little known in evangelical circles due to lack in pursuit of the same by the Christians in the life of many people who suffer. I do not blame the membership, but the leaders that conditioned to live this way without caring about the horrible living conditions that many live.
Reach a person and you pass only the Biblical content (normal is to deliver only a pamphlet) of it is no use for THE KINGDOM OF GOD THE PROMOTION. Because the Gospel of the Kingdom is for man altogether: considering their spiritual, psychological, social and cultural life. Look at the man or new convert as another number in the statistics for the institution, demonstrates the bankruptcy of Christianity today.
When we arrived in front of a person crying for help, we must seek every means to offer help in the exercise of Christ's love. This sacrificial and conditional love of Christ will not be known before men through the daily life of the Christian where he is and who is (people that God will put forth his children to offer help).
The long decades, most religious institutions Christian, did not exercise with its members to practice CHARITY AND PHILANTHROPY community in which they are installed. There was much spread insides of activities of the temples as Vigilílias, consecrations, festivities, essays, conferences, seminars, three services to seven times a week, among many others.
In the part of Evangelism, they emphasized the PERSONAL EVANGELISM (melee with pamphlets delivery inviting people to the schedules in the temple, not often care about the living conditions that person be living at the time of approach) and the Evangelismos MASS (outdoor, cross). These two events do not reach man in his depth, that is, does not seek the solution and is committed to meet the needs of the same. After all, it is not important to remove the Church's cash money to "spend" to people. On the contrary, these people have to bring money to the church and not the opposite. So many are seen as figures (R $), as a statistic, another bidder, plus a tithe, plus a handyman to build the Church (and multirão to work is not lacking). The convert who does not bring results for a given institution and only brings spending, it does not matter to them.
Today, Evangelism OR PERSONAL MASS, no longer happens in almost all Evangelical denominations of our country, giving way for a mass of internal activities, within the churches, becoming obese and absoletas without impacting the lives of nimguém, much less the community where they are. At least the body to body contact with people to deliver leaflets, are virtually extinct.
In the times of this globalization, BUILDINGS - Temples VALLEY OF constructions AND SHAREHOLDERS 'MORE THAN HUMAN. Many important leaders of our time are destroying itself and gladiando each other in a sea of destruction and disgrace to the Gospel. They applied their hearts to accumulate wealth for themselves and their drawing of funds donated for use in the Church. Almost all are owners of these Churches - as its name registered as a sole proprietor, and use and abuse their power; accompanied by their family members and a select few to also eat the fat and wool shorn from the sheep - members. In this game of interest and how messy and ususpação the Word of God for your benefit, man, the sinner, the human being in its entirety as required by the Gospel KINGDOM OF GOD, has no value.
Decades have passed and there was much loss of time with concerns about customs adopted in churches (cutting and hair painting, type of clothing, social life - Sinner clearance or scoffer) and hundreds of crazy things implemented by funfadores and leaders of these denominations prefer nor report.
Moreover, members of these churches were acustumados by their pastors or sector leaders, to seek the blessings of God just for yourself, for your family, for some relatives and some fellow believers (companions of the same church or denomination). Many slogans were adopted and last until today by the churches:
- Today God will bless you!
- God has a blessing for you before you stop this service!
- Today God will heal you!
- God will open a door work for you!
- Get involved in the work of the Church (in institiuição and not the Kingdom of God) you will see what God will do in your life!
- Introduce yourself to work for the Church that your life will change for the better!
- Continue giving their tithes and offerings and participate in campaigns (prosperity) and make test with God, He will pour many blessings in your life!
Many then tornaran selfish, individualistic, proud (because many positions and purchased securities); LIVING A FOCUSED LIFE FOR YOURSELF, BUT NOT CARE WITH THE CAUSES OF AFLITOS (these being Christian or not).
We took an informative, a magazine or a newspaper these institutions and do not see any work INTEGRAL MISSION or some PROMOTION PROJECT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE (activities involving the poor or the needy) but contemplate matters relating pomp, luxury, spending and abuse with money from tithes and offerings squandered by many pastors and their families, as if it were a triumph, a trophy, a worker or a family crowned by God. And the others? And those who are not in cliks of cameras and edited videos? There are those cursed by God, the rabble, the disadvantaged, those who do not have faith to win the leaning, the rebellious and disobedient (from our leaders and God), those who do not participate in anything (no handyman or voluntary employee of the institution). EI, Mercenary! SOON THE PASTOR OF THESE SHEEP - JESUS CHRIST - COME AND YOU WILL RECEIVE THE RESULT OF YOUR HARVEST AND ITS POOR GRAZING!
