Let me remind you that the initiative does not depend on us, it depends on God. Behind all things is the Spirit of God. Once we understand this, we realize that we can be both important and insignificant before the things God is doing.

We are focused on God, and not the world. People say that we Christians are eccentric. But an eccentric object moves around a point that is not centralized.

This is precisely how the Bible describes "the world." It is not the believers, nor the evangelists, nor the people who testify about Him, nor the Christians, who are eccentric, but the world. The world revolves around itself, but the believer revolves around God.

When people in the church talk about the importance of the Gospel, they usually mean that we must show that the Gospel has something in common with the world of industry, commerce, and entertainment. However, these people are seeing things in reverse.

The question is not, if the message can be identified with the things of this world; but rather, if the world is willing to identify with the message of the Cross. Poor of the world if not, since he will be judged on the Cross. If the world does not give importance to the Gospel, then the world is adrift; It has no anchor.

If you follow Jesus, you will go wherever He goes; doing good and healing all those who are being oppressed by the devil. Glory to God!

Another thing I have heard people say is that "the evangelists answer questions that the world is not asking." Thank God for that! We are offering the right answers; ready for when the world decides to ask the right questions. As the world is asking the wrong questions, any answer will also be incorrect.

The importance of things is related to the situation and the objective. We are only important when we can identify with the things that the Holy Spirit is doing. They tell us many times that our ministry must be directed to the times in which we live.

This is absurd. Our lives revolve around God. The machinery of the sky is moving, it rolls with a wheel. It is the machinery of heaven and not that of the earth that should concern us. If as Christians, our lives revolve around the world, then, we are going to turn the Gospel into another form of materialism - just another way of being able to obtain goods and money.

The Bible tells us in Romans 12: 2 that the important thing is not that our message fits the situations - "Do not be conformed to this century, but be transformed by means of the renewal of your understanding, so that you may prove what is good will of God, pleasant and perfect ", - but that the situations conform to the truth of Christ. In fact, the world is irrelevant if it can not identify with God.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:2-4
