You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”

      ​​@rufuswims1473 I think they are referring to the judgemental Christians who judge instead of being an example and then sin or mess up themselves in other ways and still think they are saints. It is just a saying to get that point across. At least, that is the way I'm taking it.

    • @jdfodio
      @jdfodio ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While I commend this effort to house the unhoused, The New Testament says that Christians are supposed to open their homes to other believers. That's the actual solution. Banning verbal evangelism (aka proselytizing)? That's not Biblical love. Good works and good words go together to build up others' faith in the Good News of Christ!
      1 Peter 3:13-17 - Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't be afraid and don't worry. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But you must do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak evil against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!
      👉 1 Peter 4:9 - Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.
      1 Peter 4:11 - Are you called to be a speaker? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ. All glory and power belong to him forever and ever. Amen.
      👉 Hebrews 10:24 - Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds.
      Romans 10:9-17 - For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed."
      Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They all have the same Lord, who generously gives his riches to all who ask for them. For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
      👉 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
      But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, "Lord, who has believed our message?"
      👉 Yet faith comes from HEARING this message of good news-the Good News about Christ.
      Jude 1:20-21 - But you, dear friends, must continue to build your lives on the foundation of your holy faith. And continue to pray as you are directed by the Holy Spirit. Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.
      Ephesians 2:8-10 - God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

My family live in MD. and we have been homeless for about three years because my wife had a stroke in 2015 and we lost everything, house, 2 vehicles and our FAITH in our government. There's very little help and trying to find help has become paralyzing. I have issues myself and our daughter is in her first year at a university near by. We PRAY to GOD all the time for a decent roof over our heads for when she comes home from college in winter and summer. The LORD has blessed us with things but we still don't have anything permanent yet. I thank GOD that I can still take care of my wife as she's bed ridden. Please PRAY for us. GOD BLESS. AMEN.

    Usually when stress of housing is alleviated drug use does drop. For some people it takes time. Just a little support and hope is all some people need. Love this approach. I lived in a shelter much small with just a handful of rooms a lot like this and after 10 months my fiancé and I got a 3 bedroom. It was difficult getting help since we have no children yet. It is frustrating struggling and just need a little help and not “qualifying” for anything anywhere.

    That's how we're all supposed to preach...with as little talking as possible...and as much living the Word as possible. In Matthew it says, "Let your light so shine among men that they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." We all know that our children do as we do, not always as we say. May God continue to bless them in doing their good works. ❤

      While I commend this effort to house the unhoused, The New Testament says that Christians are supposed to open their homes to other believers. That's the actual solution. Banning verbal evangelism (aka proselytizing)? That's not Biblical love. Good works and good words go together to build up others' faith in the Good News of Christ!
      1 Peter 3:13-17 - Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't be afraid and don't worry. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But you must do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak evil against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!
      👉 1 Peter 4:9 - Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.
      1 Peter 4:11 - Are you called to be a speaker? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ. All glory and power belong to him forever and ever. Amen.
      👉 Hebrews 10:24 - Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds.
      Romans 10:9-17 - For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed."
      Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They all have the same Lord, who generously gives his riches to all who ask for them. For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
      👉 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
      But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, "Lord, who has believed our message?"
      👉 Yet faith comes from HEARING this message of good news-the Good News about Christ.
      Jude 1:20-21 - But you, dear friends, must continue to build your lives on the foundation of your holy faith. And continue to pray as you are directed by the Holy Spirit. Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.
      Ephesians 2:8-10 - God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
