Learning to be the Remnant

As Christianity moves speedily toward secularization and cultural accommodation, a small group of faithful remains. They are what the Bible call remnant, the minority, the ones who survived and resisted. Most people do not see Christianity as we see it. They do not see the church as we see it. They do not have the same values that we have. They are playing by a different set of rules, and that is weird, strange, and for some of us, unacceptable. In this book Dr. Lucas Pina, a Brazilian immigrant who lives and serves in US since 1990, reflects on important lessons learned with those who took this journey before us. These are simple steps that remnants should know and do.

C’mon God, Give Me a Break! Reflections of an immigrant pastor on the Psalms of Lament

Everybody has a story of sorrow to tell. The Psalms of Lament are a cry for help. It is like a 911 call. We find ourselves in a bad situation and we need a Divine intervention right away. We do not have any other recourse and we cry. Maybe we will not have the right words, and our attitudes will not be the best, but our hearts will be wide open to God.

In this book Dr. Lucas Pina, a Brazilian immigrant who lives and serve in US since 1990, reflects in some of the most well-known Psalms of Laments that we have in the Bible. The intention is not only to reflect in their meaning, but also to examine the causes, helping the readers to identify with the psalmists and pray those beautiful psalms.
