One thing that has started to bother me more and more about reading the bible is how much people who claim to follow the bible ignore it. Most Christians of today don't give much thought to those who are less fortunate in this country. In most cases if a person tells their story the christian will recommend food stamps or something of that nature. I get so angry about this partly because of how many times it has bitten me. But also because of the stand the bible takes on the subject. Christians are so concerned with self they will either do the minimum or nothing at all. Yet on the other side of the fence, those who could care less about YHVH will often times give the most.
A little over a year ago I went to central Florida for a job with a Verizon franchise store. Finally my dream job was coming through. I drove 3000 miles for this job. When I got there I had the finale interview and was hired and I was so happy. Then it happened. Things started going bad. First day on the new job I was told I am so sorry I can't actually hire you. Corporate has decided that they may be closing the doors of this location within 60 days. Then I was told that my place to stay was no longer available. I found a new place to stay for a short time but that to fell through as well. I wound up sick as a dog in my car with 5 bucks in my pocket. And was staying in a Walmart parking lot. This was not cool. At one point I realized if I did not do something to keep my strength up I might die in my car. So I spent 3 dollars on yogurt and 7up. This lasted about 2 days. After that I had two dollars in my pocket and was so hungry and barely on my feet. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I pleaded with my Savior that I trusted Him completely. please provide for me. I had never felt so open and vulnerable to Him in my life. It was a scary place to be yet very comforting feeling that close to Him trusting Him with my all. I felt the conviction to spend one more dollar on a marker and then find card board. Which I did. I made a sign two hours later I had $50 in my pocket. My love for my creator filled my heart. I spent each dollar as if it was a precious gift. Not indulging in anything frivolous. As my money started to drop I realized this money was a help but $50 only lasts so long. So I went out again. And in about 2 hours again I had picked up another amount of money.
But I had also had one christian man come and talk to me. He asked me few questions found out I was a believer as well. In fact he knew I was not bluffing him because we had a very in depth conversation about faith. After that he said he wanted to help but did not feel right about giving cash. This is a popular Christian thing. They do not want to give someone cash incase they are strung out on drugs or alcohol. I have found because of the one of the Jim Staley videos that I have posted that this is a wrong attitude and wrong behavior. I knew I had picked up a few dollars and this small cash of food would help. I dug into my pocket and pulled out the wad of singles and a couple 5's as I straitened out the mess I got down to almost the last dollar and it was not a single but a twenty. Again I had picked up right around 50 dollars.
My question is why is it that Christians are less giving then unbelievers. The man who gave me food was great. But what about all the others who do nothing for someone on the street with a run of bad luck and nothing more. Why was there not a christian to offer me a place to stay? One Christian stopped. And that was all.
Why do Christians ignore the bible.
Proverbs 28
27 He who gives to the poor does not lack, But he who hides his eyes does have many curses. 28When the wrong rise up, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.
There is so much promise and command to give to the poor and yet all the churches send them away to take refuge under the protection of a government who hates their god so much they teach children at the earliest of ages that He does not exist. "Evolution" It is my thoughts that the churches today are sick and they sicken our creator. This verse proves that there are many curses that will be coming at American churches. With hundreds of verses giving command to help the poor the American church turns a blind eye. My heart bleeds for them. And my anger burns. Further YHVH's anger burns for him to say that he will curse something is a big deal. Especially something that is suppose to belong to Him.
