FÉ, GRAÇA E RESISTÊNCIA

Parafraseando o pastor Ed René Kivitz (na capa do seu livro - Outra Espiritualidade), faço das palavras dele, as minhas:

Outro em relação a qual? Que 'Cristianismo' estou abandonando para que em seu lugar apareça "outro"? É simples: estou abandonando o 'Cristianismo' do senso comum evangélico e saindo em busca Cristianismo do senso comum da tradição cristã.

Apresso-me em explicar. Considero 'senso comum' uma forma simples de me referir ao fato de que, apesar da enorme diversidade a respeito das características que identificam o ser evangélico, há um núcleo que resume como este segmento religioso da sociedade articula sua crença a seu modus vivendi.

Ao escolher o senso comum, admito que o 'outro Cristianismo' que busco não é uma novidade, mas um resgate dos aspectos essenciais à fé cristã conforme se estabeleceram nestes mais de dois mil anos de história. Outro Cristianismo, outra igreja, outro céu e outra fé!

A igreja confessa...


“A igreja confessa não ter cumprido, com suficiente clareza, a sua missão, que consiste em anunciar o Deus único, que se revela em Jesus Cristo e que não tolera outros deuses.

A igreja confessa sua covardia, seus desvios seus perigosos compromissos. Ela negou constantemente sua missão, que é pastorear e consolar, e negou constantemente misericórdia aos exilados e desprezados. Ela ficou muda, quando devia ter falado, pois o sangue dos inocentes clamava dos céus. Ela não encontrou a palavra certa, dita de modo certo, no momento certo. Ela não lutou até o sacrifício contra a negação da fé e tornou-se então, responsável pela impiedade das massas.

A igreja confessa ter presenciado em silêncio e passivamente o uso arbitrário da força, o sofrimento moral e físico, o ódio e o crime. Ela se tornou responsável pela morte de irmãos mais fracos e desamparados. A igreja se declara culpada diante dos Dez mandamentos e confessa ter negado a Cristo. Ela não testemunhou a verdade de tal maneira que todo o conhecimento e toda a ciência pudessem reconhecer sua origem divina na verdade anunciada pela Igreja. Ela não anunciou a justiça divina de tal maneira que toda a injustiça humana pudesse reconhecer sua origem divina na justiça anunciada pela Igreja. Ela não mostrou a misericórdia divina de tal maneira que toda a atividade humana pudesse reconhecer sua origem divina na misericórdia anunciada pela Igreja.

A Igreja se declara culpada de ter feito desaparecer, pelo seu silêncio, toda a ação responsável, toda a coragem de enfrentar a adversidade e toda a disposição de sofrer por aquilo que é justo.

A igreja se declara culpada de ter deixado que a autoridade se desviasse de Cristo!”

Exercise TipsCompleting your regular workout program can be difficult with the pain from plantar fasciitis. While the stretches and myofascial release are designed to reduce the plantar fasciitis symptoms, basic exercise tips can allow you to perform workouts while the pain and inflammation heal.

Adjust the tension by inserting a 6 mm Allen wrench into the hole in the right end cap at the back of the deck. This gives you access to the tension bolt. For the past 20 years, the Lloyd Aquifer has been protected by a state imposed "moratorium" on drilling any new wells into it unless they are for use by "coastal communities." Coastal communities are areas vulnerable to saltwater intrusion. When sea water moves inland, taking the place of fresh water in the aquifers, this is saltwater intrusion. By this process, water can eventually become too salty to drink and the affected community must find a new source of water.
