We live in a country where financial problems, inflation, and an internal brute product on the ground are the everyday talking. However, it is also incredible to see how the rate of consumption is among the highest in Latin America since Venezuelans have created a culture of wasting, living under a mistaken philosophy that tells Do not Replace It. Update It.
This philosophy put into us the desire to acquire unnecessary things; to possess more and more; to forget that for which we were created. That simply blurs our vision, disconnects us to our mission, and over time this desire becomes an appetite that makes us feel dissatisfied about what we do not have. So the question is, What made us think that as more things we have much happier we are?
As Christians we must learn a simple principle, the more you feed an appetite, the greater it becomes. And today more than ever we need to make us aware of the reality in which we live and learn that the appetites can be controlled, but they cannot be satisfied. Knowing this, we will be able to change the I don’t have by the what I need.
Remember that we were not created for temporary things, but for the eternal, and also remember that your Iglesia Buenas Nuevas del Centro wants to form your character for you to do transcendental things.
