This logic is not biblical.

And that will not happen either. Thanks for the perspective.

Re: Young Man At Church About To Be Homeless...
So why doesn’t anyone want to help the guy? Has this scenario played out before? Is this a cycle for him?

As far as I know, no this hasn't happened with this young man before-- but I am sure there are things I don't know.

I hope you'll never go there, Anne. But the way girls roam over the earth now is something terrible. It always makes me think of Satan in the Book of Job, going to and fro and walking up and down. I don't believe the Lord ever intended it, that's what

Re: Young Man At Church About To Be Homeless...
My parents had a prison ministry when I was growing up. There were two men who were baptized and filled with the HG in prison who they allowed (years apart) to temporarily live with us a couple months when they were released and while they were looking for work and a place to live. This was back in the late 80s and early mid 90s. Both had been the pen for 15 years or so.
Thankfully, these two men were truly saved, sanctified and filled with the HG. Dad was a good judge of character. The last I knew a couple years ago, they're both still living for God to this day.
