Christian, loving husband, doting father, ADHD creative nerd. Pastor of First Allendale Christian Reformed Church. Trying 2 be a disciple while making them too.
This was my speech at United Nations Headquarters, where I had the oportunity to tell to the world what is actually happening in Brazil. Since then, the “justice” has ordered an investigation against me, the most voted deputy of the country, only for saying that Lula is a corrupt who should be in jail.
Let us thank God for all the ordinary Christians who daily love their neighbors and live by faith in the resurrected Christ.
They are the secret and sacred agents in the kingdom of God. The world will never know them, and it’s much better that way.
They work openly, yet in secret, in small acts of self-sacrifice that subvert the reigning egocentric ethos of a world saturated with emotion and dry of truth.
They consider others more important than themselves. They make it their ambition to lead quiet lives. And they raise their children to believe a life well lived is in the pursuit of serving others.
They daily pray, confess their sins, and cast themselves upon the mercy of Christ. He forgives and raises them up to forgive others, to show mercy, to speak the truth in love.
No one will reward them or applaud them. Nor do they seek such recognition. They are simply living as a children of God, content with his approval in Christ.
Their lives are an ongoing doxology whispered in holy anonymity while passing through this dying world on the way to resurrection.
