Secularized environment, where the ideas of the world have invaded the minds and hearts that live without reference to good and evil. All these aspects end up invading the small evangelical church in Portugal and end up exerting such pressure that many of them lose their identity and impact, and end up living a pattern very similar to the pattern of the world, since many communities end up living. be dominated by the fear of losing a few. members they have if they preach the true gospel.
