SUPERFICIALITY AND RELATIONSHIPS

SUPERFICIALITY AND RELATIONSHIPS 

Josimar Salum

   The greatest mark of this existing present  generation is superficiality. Our generation is predominantly superficial. The relationships today are shallow. The marriages are failing and falling apart because man and woman don’t stick together anymore like they did in the old times. 

   Everything in our culture is disposable, not just things, but people.

   We discard today friendships as soon as we disagree with each other on simple things in life. We break friendships without any worries.

   The bounds that stick us together are made of paper. The words are meant just to keep people together while they are doing something good to each other. When something happens they give up relationships of many years as if they have never had any relationship. 

   Our understanding of the Gospel is shallow. Our commitment to Jesus, His Church and even to our family is shallow.

   Churches divide often as people tend to loose their patience on issues that are not essential.  

   I look today to churches that are divided because they are made of members of an organization and they not individually members of each other forming the Body of Christ. 

   As a member of the church you quit like you are suspending a membership on Planet Fitness if it does not provide you the services you were expecting. Or you quit because you begin to think that your church as an association of members does not care for you as you deserve. 

   Then brothers and sisters who grew together, after their churches split, they are no longer friends much less brothers and sisters.

   Where is the meaning of the words when they sang “that they would pay the price by being one only heart in the Lord?”

   Are we committed to each other truthfully? Are we deepen into our marriages as a man and a woman who pledged our honor when we got married for life? Are we friends that really care for each other far beyond our beliefs and ideologies?

   Are we really true followers of Jesus? Are we really committed to our Lord and King Jesus in an un-breakable covenant?
