After the Catholic Church publicly criticized the policies of the country's management and a plan to support the evangelical church was promoted, many are wondering: Is the evangelical church going to allow itself to be bought?
Before answering that question in its context, let me explain something to you, first of all, the evangelical church in its different denominations, especially these three: Pentecostals, free and Protestants, have been allowing themselves to be bought for years. I explain:
+When they started putting smoke in the church, lighting games and putting the church in darkness to make it look like (a nightclub), HE WAS LETTING HIM BE PURCHASED.
+When the church began to preach a gospel that does not confront sin nor confront false pastors and teachers, IT WAS LETTING IT BE BUYED.
+When the church began to worry about preaching a gospel where no one feels offended (so that no one leaves) IT WAS LETTING IT BE BUYED.
+When the church began to move out of cronyism (like any organization in the world) and not by the call of God (I know leaders who are like a dog controlling a nuclear power plant), IT WAS LETTING ITSELF BE BUYED.
+When in church the preachers transformed the pulpit into a stage for dramatizations, jokes and anecdotes, (because that's what the world likes) THEY WERE LETTING THEM BE BUYED.
+When in the church the worshipers became artists and entertainers like any secular singer, (And in fact in many churches the majority of those who sing and play are not even Christians) THEY WERE LETTING THEMSELVES BE BUYED.
+When they turned the church into a pyramidal organization where you can rise in positions (because people like to have positions) and where everyone can be a pastor ignoring what the scriptures require, THEY WERE LETTING THEM BE BUYED.
What I want to say is that for the church to allow itself to be silenced by "support" would be a continuation of what it has been doing for years.
In Venezuela, Catholics did what evangelical Christians should have done. Imagine what the Evangelical church had to be like in the last century to be called PROTESTANTS.
And it's not that protesting was a bad thing that modern evangelicals improved upon, NO! John the Baptist protested everything that he saw as wrong in society, Jesus Christ PROTESTED against everything he saw as wrong in society and in the church.
But many of the churches of this century allow themselves to be bought, they allow themselves to be silenced in their holy duty to protest what is wrong, even for the sake of some sheets for the church roof.
Much of today's church has gotten used to selling itself to attract more people, to be a church of thousands, to be the coolest, to be the church with the most young people, or to seem like the church "with the most love." And is it not true? Are you going to let them buy for money or equipment?
I really hope to see those Saints of God in this country who prefer not to have their church "Well equipped" than to have a muzzle put on them. It is my prayer and my supplication to see those men that heaven will recognize as True Men of God.
And I know it's not easy. And I know that it will be difficult for a pastor to see the one who allowed himself to be bought, with tremendous construction and he still has zinc sheets on the window frames because God has not yet provided to buy the windows.
Sometimes it scares me to imagine being in a situation between a rock and a hard place where on the one hand I have the option of staying silent and having a good life or doing the right thing and having to go back to the time where I had to go to the playground. a neighbor to grab the mangoes that fell on the ground so he could eat something during the day.
I know that sometimes doing the right thing is the most horrible thing there is, but it is my prayer that every Venezuelan pastor acts in the most correct and biblical way possible (And to the extent of his faith).
