Vivemos dias em que a fé cristã tem crescido e se espalhado grandemente. Mas temos que reconhecer que esse avanço tem acontecido a uma velocidade muito maior do que a capacidade de a Igreja amadurecer. Com isso, a maneira de Deus agir nem sempre corresponde às nossas expectativas. Mesmo imaturos, imaginamos que podemos entender a maneira como Deus determina sua vontade. Tentamos encontrar respostas para tudo, como se nosso raciocínio limitado pudesse esquadrinhar a mente do Senhor. Se algo acontece com alguém, sabemos o porquê; se deixa de acontecer, também temos a resposta.
