Challenges to be met with Homeless
There are some basic challenges we as The Church must meet to help the poor homeless.
First, we must reach out to them with The Gospel. Then, we must know that they will only seek help if their personal possessions (Which are few, but important to them) are protected. And, they must have transport to Church or Shelters because they can’t get to one.
Just try to think of how you would feel and think if you were on the street homeless? What would you be concerned about?
We know what they need and are concerned about. But, we are few. We need ALL the Church to open their doors. (Yes, insurance, liability, etc. is a challenge, but we together can solve that).
What the homeless most need of course is The Gospel. But, they also need to know people (Christians) CARE about them. We can care about them if we are willing to submit ALL to God. There is NO other way to serve God than to be willing to give ALL, if necessary, to Him because, He has already given ALL to US! (Please Pray and THINK about that!).Many of us are warm and comfortable only because God has done that for us. We have never done or will do anything to deserve His blessings. Yet, we have trouble as humans, to Trust that God wants us to GIVE more than He ever Gives us. Why? Because He wants us to be like His Son Jesus. Jesus was always a Giver! He Gave His own human life for you! Then, I say, is it too much to give some of your material blessings to Him? God deserves the BEST and FIRST of anything that He has given us. (And He said so too).
Therefore, we Disciples who are often outcast ask you; Are you as the worldwide Church of Christ willing to donate something of value to Him?
Attendance at a Church on Sunday or a Bible study will only please Him if you everyday reach out to Worship and Honor Him by helping the less fortunate among us who need Him.
I Pray to tell you all the Truth. There are thousands who will not give into materialism worship and will Worship God. You CAN help. Give a little (Or as much as the Spirit leads you for our suffering homeless.
Think and Pray always about Him and His Love for others.
Blessings in His NAME.
