Champions Of Christ Church Community Group
This is a church, but online! Most people view a church as the building you go to for worship. NOT TRUE. In the beginning, it was a community that shared things. This is a church. A web-based community who can share with others. Feel free to ask questions. There are no "dumb" questions. How will you know unless you ask. I only ask that you have JOY. (Respect of Jesus,...
You ever notice..........
People? I mean EVERYbody for the most part...
Church Members
Neighbors
Relatives
Any and every body....
They will talk to you about the weather, politics, sports, the economy, food, cars, sex, movies, and especially MONEY!!!!!
But!!!!! The very moment I mention JESUS, HIS miracles, and try to share my testimony......this is what I get:
A)They leave
b) They change the subject-QUICK
c) they have nothing to say
d) they laugh it off
e) If text or e-mail---no reply whatsoever
f) they appear bored
g) they seem embarassed
GOD-JESUS-THE HOLY SPIRIT......all have true, lasting riches to offer us!! Yet, nobody seems interested?????
I had lots of "so-called" friends...before I became borne again..now, everyone has abadoned me. This only hurts me because I fear for their souls....I am never lonely, as I have HIM with me 24 hours a day! I may have lost wordly friends...but my eternal friend is the following:
a) HE never gets tired of me
b) HE is always there for me
c) HE never sleeps
d) HE watches over me
e) HE makes me so happy, I cry, happy tears!
f) HE fills my heart with joy
I had rather have JESUS than have all the money in this world, all the land on every continent, all the new cars, houses, etc...and have any and every material thing there is! I may look poor to people on the outside....but inside I know what I have can not be bought, sold, or traded! I have fulfilling riches now.......but nobody wants me to share it with them??????? I know if I said, "Hey! I am giving out $100 bills." I would have a line of people stretching aorund the world!!!
Yet!!!!!!!!!.........JESUS is giving away somehting more valuable........and people seem to not want it????
I will continue to pray for them, but I was wondering...does any of my fellow Christians here feel as I do???
GOD Bless You All!
It feels good to vent to people who listen and can relate:)

Just think about it:
God owns the cattle on a thousand Hills. And you are His adopted child.
And, yes, those who avoid the subject frustrate me too.
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CAUGHT,
UP IN A WORLD WHO CAN NOT SEE
WHY JESUS DIED UPON THAT TREE.
AS I WATCH THE YEARS GO BY
CAN'T HELP THINKING THAT IF I,
COULD ONLY TELL THEM
OF THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE
IF I COULD START JUST ONE SMALL SPARK
IN ANY ONE OF THEM, LORD LET ME BE
THE LAST ONE TO COME HOME
AND IF I COULD TRY TO TESTIFY
JUST WHY YOU DIED FOR THEM
LORD, LET ME BE THE LAST ONE TO COME HOME.
I WANT US ALL TO BE THERE IN YOUR HOME.
I WROTE THIS AS A SONG YEARS AGO, WHILE I WAS
WORKING IN THE GARDEN. THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD
TIME TO POST IT.
