Unchurch Friend Number 2# Getting the Reality of Non-Churched View

In Philly one day I was walking on our homeless ministry rot. We were handing out sandwiches and clothes when an old friend that uses to live on the streets and saw us every Tuesday night found us again and started to talk to us about everything that was happening in his life. I was like a big family reunion in LOVE Park that night because he was close to allot of people on the team, so it was cool to see him. I asked him if he has been going to church, he said not really because the churches in the area were not really open to him coming in and sleeping in the shelter that they had when he was on the streets, so now that he is off them, Church is not a good places for them. He didn’t see the love of Christ in their heart, so he didn’t want to go there. He tells me that he is a Christian but not a church goer at all. He wishes that more Christians were understanding of situation that people are in and help them but they don’t see the need for helping the needy. He doesn’t think that allot of people go to church to find Christ or love they go to church to feel forgive even if they are high when they walk into the door. He wishes that people would not say they are Christian that doesn’t live out the Christian faith. He was like I HATE FAKE People. Listening to him that night made me think why are Christian so fake in life, and he put it go because they love the world more then they love God but know that God is a so great they don’t want to get on his backslide.
