These are the ones who need our love!

AMEN!!!!

Next time you are out eating at a fast food resteraunt. Check around you. Do you see anyone huddled in a corner, disheveled, with pangs screaming through the veins on their faces. Go buy them a sandwich, or a burger and a soda. Feeding the hungry isn't only in 3rd world countries. It is down town. It is around the corner. Don't flaunt it....just do it. You'd be surprised to see how many will cut that sandwich or burger in half and run to their friend to share it.

We forget our comforts, and take them for granted. Never take what you have for granted. For it can be taken at the blink of an eye. When Christ is hungry, will you let him stay hungry? He is inside so many....feed Him!

That's a great idea.
Thanks,

These people are in this situation because the have rejected the message of Gods love, feed them O.k. help them? Someone somewhere has been praying for a person and rather than listen to that still small voice they have chosen to rebel. Will you join in their rebellion by mocking God, interfering in his handiwork. He is attempting to open these peoples eyes and when we think were helping, in reality were hurting. Look at it this way, your a rancher you have a bronco that refuses to be broke, after time the bronco must be put down before he can hurt another in the herd.

If they refuse to listen, or be broke then let them be Anthema Maranantha, there are people that are begging for Gods help. Go to them and stop wasting time on these unbelivers.

I have to humbly disagree to an extent. I have hit the streets in my youth, through adult hood....and what I have discovered is this. Go past the drug users and alcoholics...there are many many homeless whom are homeless not by their intentions, whom had faith before and after. In fact, many grew in their faith, as they watched how the Lord provided for them.

Granted, there are those, whom are on the streets who do refuse to listen...

And the question is this...is this judgment to assume they are all unbelievers?

I have met prostitutes whom had been married. Divorced, or their husbands left them, with no education, no way of income at an educated level, and to survive, became prostitutes, detesting every second of their pathetic lives...hoping the money would give their kids a better life. Now, that outlook is not our outlook for sure, but in desperation, and unanswered prayers, they found money in dirty places. These women, whom had regular jobs, could not afford rent, mortgage, food, bills, clothing on these jobs alone. Now, how does the devil work here? He digs in, and people, human...fall. Does this mean, we should not try to help them get out of this? So I have to disagree.

Now, I have met homeless, whom made major mistakes in their lives, and ruined families, their careers etc....whom found Christ by being on the streets. How? By people helping them....

I still believe in hope for the lost...the hurting....and the confused. I always have, and I always will.

Now, if we help, and we see that nothing changes, and they are taking advantage, it is time to move on. The Lord leads, we follow....it is a persons free will to accept or deny or take advantage.

God Bless.

Oh, Yes, I have witnessed this too. Believe me I have. These are the ones that we must often walk away from. Their walk will be filled with a lot of mockery until God says enough! This is also a test of patience for those in it...and a test of "when is enough, enough!" As we say...the Tough Love....cut it out..all ties and let them fend for themselves...and pray that a prodigal comes forth from it...and if not...they made their own bed, they can lie in it.

When its apparent that they've made up their mind then this is the only thing left to do.

I can't see the URL....re post!!!! LOL

Try copy and pasting it, or,
The word "anathema" means "cursed." The word "Maranatha" means "the Lord is coming." The Word of God is saying that if anyone does not want to get saved, then let him be cursed because the Lord is coming. You can try to warn people, but they ultimately must make the decision to accept or reject Christ as their own personal Saviour. If we warn people of the judgment to come and they laugh in our faces, then they are choosing to go to hell by their own freewill. They will be cursed to burn in hell if they don't become born-again.
People may sometimes swear at us and curse God when we witness to them (which I had happen last weekend), but they are the one's who will be the losers when they die without Christ in their sins. I say that kindly. I was courteous to the unsaved man and prayed for him as I was leaving, but he is making a horrible decision. Did you know that no one goes to hell by mistake? It's true! No one accidentally goes to hell, people decide to go there by deciding to reject Christ as their Saviour. If Jesus is not your Saviour, then your sins have not been forgiven yet and you are still under the condemnation of God's Law. If you die in your unrepentant state, you WILL go straight to hell when you die to pay for your own sins. Have you asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart?
A "heretick" is an unsaved person. The Bible says that if someone has witnessed to you at least twice but you refuse to get saved, then you are subverted. The word "subverted" in this passage of Scripture in the Greek means "to change for the worse, pervert, corrupt." Hence, people who repeatedly reject the gospel are corrupted within their own heart. Is God saying that we should give up on people? Of course not! Look back to Titus 3:9 please.
I don't believe we should ever throw people away by giving up on on them,

In Christ,
Lee

Nope...no giving up...praying constantly for them....but letting go, when we must. IT is a choice...this is why I never give up hope....even for the worst of the worst...because somewhere, someone, at some split second can say one simple thing and change a life.

And still the family feels I should join in the mocking. God isn't viewing this with frivolity, and please don't make matters worse than they are already. He loves us and want's all to come to repentance.

They have said, "yes but" he is a new person, don't fall for this gimick, if you do, it "will" make matters worse. Things are bad enough already, I replied to this statement thus, "has he come to his senses?, the Prodical had to come to his...

I had a chat with him, the result? failure, now I am casting my pearls before swine. His reply, I accept Jesus, "but" on my terms", that equals rebellion, and rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft


It is written, reap to the wind and ye shall reap to the whirlwind.
As it is with all those in the flesh, the flesh can not comprehend that which is spiritually decerned.

This is a sad situation. I remember, when I was young, and I had "Jesus" pushed at my face,(For a lack of better wording) I had similar reactions. Rebellious reactions...."On MY terms!!!" Well.....I had years of hell before it all hit me! Prayer is the main key. When you are under the devils chokehold....you really don't know what you are saying. You think it is all you..and nothing can influence you. So not true! I truly hear you in this situation. I have also been on your end...trying to aid others and to what seems no avail. It causes a lot of pain and distress in people's lives whom are trying to help. While the other uses, sponges off, mocks and leeches. God can turn the worst into good...so never give up hope....but don't feel bad if you or your family has to cut ties for a while...because prayer actually keeps you very connected....this person, just doesn't know it.

Lessons from our teacher:


Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

I had a friend tell me that all my efforts had come to this. I was casting my pearls before swine, let the scripture be true. All of my pleading and crying just made matters worse, the person had rejected the love of God.
Now I stay away and let God do his work, he loves this individual more than I ever could.

In Christ,
Lee

Precicely why we must often let go and move on. Prayer....prayer...prayer...and let God do His works.

I liked this post! Very Much so, I liked this.......

To have a fellow going about the farm as
cross with everybody as a bear with a sore head, with a temper as sour
as spoiled milk and as sharp as a razor, looking as surly as a
butcher's dog, is a great nuisance; yet there may be some good points
about the man, so that he may be a man for all that.

It happens each and every time we put our arms around him. Agape Love, there is no other.

In Christ.
and everready,
Lee
