Francisco Diaz S.: Unfortunately, in current times, many church leaders have become politicized and use the word of God to gain personal benefits. Let us distance ourselves from bad influences and seek God with conviction, sincerity and faith.

: Interesting reflections, but we must always maintain our identity with Christ; we are in the world but we are not of the world. We must enjoy our newness of life without commitments that make us forget the high calling of being children of God. There should be no need to seek acceptance and approval of the world, its values or representatives of those who have an interest in hindering God's plans and purposes. We have everything in Christ, he takes care of us, defends us and keeps us from evil. When we are not well defined in the call we have received from God, we live in the desire to be accepted in society, to be recognized by a fallen world dominated by the enemy of our souls, and we compromise our holiness and purpose. to be light and salt of the earth, that we live for Him, that if we die for Him we die, that is why in the circumstances of life and the search for acceptance in society, we "change" our position. Forgetting that we are pilgrims, this is not our home...
