Mission: "Nuances"

...theological, ideological and culturais!!! 

For the time being, these reflections will be designed only in the Spanish and Portuguese languages, focused mainly for the Latin American context. 

Purpose of "Nuances"

This series of reflections addresses the different "nuances" of some themes. Particularly of theological content, but also some that are ideological and cultural. Aiming to motivate, to the recovery of the old and good habit, almost forgotten nowadays, of reflecting and meditating, before giving an opinion or acting with respect to a specific topic or polemical situation.

We see with concern that, nowadays, when talking about practically any subject, there is an "extreme and automated polarization" in the world society, which no longer allows us to hear the other. In this way, a fanaticism towards my own opinion is encouraged, preventing a natural and healthy development of mutual learning when exchanging points of view.

A collective irritation is growing, generating a kind of "war" for personal preferences and ideologies is accentuated, encouraged to a great extent by social networks and the media in general, where each one positions himself in a certain place, for his own preferences or interests and attacking the other, often without necessarily thinking in depth, if the arguments he is defending, have true sustainability.

Unfortunately, it is not different within the Churches or Christian circles, causing much harm to the body of Christ.

Let it not be misunderstood! To position oneself as a Christian is not only an option, but a duty. In this aspect, the Lord Jesus Himself took to the extreme some decisions that we must make regarding Him and His Gospel: "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, pours out" (Matthew 12:30).

Nuances, it is not a question of being lukewarm, but rather about reflecting in some depth on what the different important aspects of a subject are in themselves. And then yes, to position ourselves with firmness, but also with understanding and self-awareness, in favor of Christ and not in favor of my preferences, interests or personal ideologies.

EMPHASIZING once again,that the main objective of these reflections is not to make a deep theological study of each theme, but to make the exercise of reflecting on the different aspects of the themes themselves, and then look and see where we believe our Lord Jesus is positioned in each theme.

Or, better said: not where our Lord Jesus is positioned, but where each theme aligns with what our Lord Jesus wants and has already established for His kingdom!

If we 'stop the ball', raise our heads, look and listen carefully, many times we may be surprised how wrong we can be in some issues, regarding our Lord and the feeling of His Holy Spirit.

The themes that we will touch on are RANDOM THEMES that we have collected in our missionary journey and that are loaded with "nuances" and serve well for the purpose of making these exercises of non-fanatical reflections.

We thank you for your prayers for this work!
