A Call for Transparency: Responsibility in the Church

We need to understand, Church, that we are no longer in the old times when we could hide the bean in the rice. We have had our flaws too. I do not judge Evangelical churches; I learned a lot from them, both good and bad. But I love the good, not the bad. I love God. I am a sinner, God knows this, and He knows my weaknesses and cares for me.

For people to convert, we need to stop hiding problems or leaving them unresolved. People are not foolish; we are in a different era. And truly, it is not God's fault, it is our fault. Sometimes we want to be more merciful than God, and other times we are ashamed that everyone knows our problems. But in every family, there are problems, and we must correct and endure. Because if God comes, I don't know if you have read this, "a little leaven leavens the whole lump." Do you understand? It is human to err, but it is not human to let the sons and daughters of God die because of our error. Admit your error and mend it. Don't let God take the entire church away. Imagine losing a whole church of 300, 400, or 1000 souls, all because we did not correct what could be corrected.

Church, the mission God gave me is to educate His people. God does not need you. Do not think of yourself as so important. God Himself can educate His people. You do it out of mercy, because God knows that if He does not occupy you with something, you will be lost. Do not act like politicians; we are not the earthly government. You manage the Kingdom of God. We need to be light in the midst of darkness, not amber.

I love both: my native church, the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church, because it taught me principles, and the Evangelical Church, because it taught me to defend myself. We cannot and do not have the time, and God will not let us harm His people, those who come to God. I understand you. But let me tell you, you need God. For this, I beg you to receive Christ and read your Bible. Ask God for forgiveness and ask Him for His Holy Spirit. God does not show favoritism to people or churches; God loves the sinner who seeks Him and is repentant, who keeps His word and is faithful to you.

Church, my beloved church, both taught me what I know, and I am very grateful. But my charge is to teach the people what you have failed to do. And now there are many more like me. We are many, and I assure you that if you do not repent, the world will know your error. God will expose it, because there is no time; we are already at the door.

Please, I ask you to cleanse yourselves of false prophets, the works of the flesh, and the bad odor. God loves the church, but you and I know that if a church has a black spot on its dress, God might not take the whole church. Why? Because the sinner who does not repent is as guilty as the one who did not speak to them.

I love you, and I sincerely ask you, no more tolerance. Love, yes, but do not hide the black spot because it could cost you salvation.
