Hi, my name is Christopher. I have recently moved from Melbourne 2 Brisbane. It's been rough for the last year, but thing's are looking up.
Hello my Christian friends

Greetings @empathic4life from here in South Australia
Welcome to Talk Jesus, Christopher
Enjoy the forums and online Christian fellowship.
I am glad things are getting better for you, whatever your circumstances have been over the past year
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:1-5

Well, I'm back on the street's again. It will be another few rough nights.

Praying that doors will opened for you brother!

Praying is your first problem.
James 2:14-17 NIV
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? [15] Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. [16] If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? [17] In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Lack of praying and waiting for guidance normally creates the problems we happen to be in.
On a more personal level. I'd fly out there to be with you brother, but then we'd both be in the streets. Well, at least maybe you'd have company, but my wife would not be approving on being left alone. I could take out a loan, but I'd be further in debt than I already am. So, I give you what I have my brother. My words sent Heavenward on your behalf. For truly He is the great provider.

Dark times indeed brother.
Yet, our hope doesn't reside in the times, but in Jesus!
So, we wait looking for His return.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

I promise that he won't return until the day his people wake up and do what's right.

LOL (Joyful laugh!)
He will return despite whether we feel the time is right or not. That's why we should always be on the lookout for His return.
Only the Father knows the time, and I'm confident that it will be the right/perfect time when our Lord returns!
Though if you're really into eschatology you might try starting a thread on that.
Folks are always open to discussing the End of Days.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Well, his own people have to show up first. He can't exactly return to a world void of his sheep.

I walked off the cold streets into the bowls club, none are Christian's here yet they provided a place for my bag, a power point for my phone. Also I was welcomed with a free coffee, and a genuine conversation about my homelessness.
Funny how non believers are doing the Lord's will.

As I was drinking my coffee a member of my Church walked passed me and nodded then walked out without a care.

I don't think the world is void of believers brother. Just that the Body of Christ is not something that gets advertised so you'd know.
They are out there.
Glad that God has used non-believers to take care of one of His Children!
Might be a reason for it too.
Might be an opportunity to share with them why you believe as you believe!
Also, just cause someone goes to Church doesn't mean that they believe!
So many give lip service, but don't walk the walk. As you're coming to find out.
There is a sister in Christ Jesus who hasn't been on here for awhile, but who would converse with you on this.
Was living in a cold climate, and told someone in church that she was homeless and didn't even have a coat. You can imagine what this supposed sister in Christ Jesus told her! Real shame, but stay faithful as this Sister has. Man will disappoint but our God never will!
Still, one should also realize that trials and tribulations are part of our lives.
Would love to stay but have to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar!
Will continue to pray for you. Glad you've found a spot for the moment.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

I no longer want to be associated as a Christian, this line has to end somewhere.
Change my belief to non believer.
I've hung on to this illusion far too long, in truth non believers have been far more merciful than Christian's.

Sadly, like many people. You are confusing the supposed adherents behavior with the message that Jesus the Christ wanted us to share and live by.
To do so is to throw the greatest gift ever given to man. And for what?

The really sad part is that it all changed for you in less than a day.
From things are looking up, to what? Bump in life and the devil treats his minions better so I'll give up the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross and go with Satan?
Life is precious but eternal life more so.
Still praying for you.
With the love of Christ Jesus.

Again a complete stranger working at the railway station bought me breakfast & water, he was not Christian at all.
So if non believer's can love like your Christ what have you got?
