Homeless in NYC?
A. Know this assuredly!
- I say: There is no homelessness in NYC!
- Google search will tell you there are 8.3 million people in NYC.
One out of 106 classified homeless! That is about 80,000!
- Google search also say there are five main causes for homelessness!
Substance abuse, housing cost, domestic violence, poverty, lack of disabilities and mental health care facilities!
- Not one mentioned about school age children embrace playing but shun learning!
I happened to live one street away to elementary school. I work across street of a R.C.C. school.
- I seen many children after school play their hearts out on street and play grounds!
- Thousands of children grown up through our church programs! Over 50 years, not one became homeless!
- I can humbly say: If NYC let us run their school program, there would be no homeless within 50 years!
B. Think about Google search 5 causes of homelessness!
1. Substance abuse? This means drug addiction, drinking, smoking, gamble ... addictions!
Our children do not smoke cigarette, do not drink wine, no gamble,...
- Our children grow up make good money housing cost is not a cause!
- Domestic violence is non-existing!
The Lord Jesus said: Love one another! Can human disobey this instruction!?
- Poverty? What is it?
One simple verse solves this one easily! Eph.4:28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with his own hands,
that he may have something to share with those in need.
Yes, people may disagree with this one! That is why they there are homeless people!
- Lack of disabilities and mental health facilities?
Thank God, not one of our children grew up in need of these facilities!
C. Here are some real root causes!
1. Disobey these teachings
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph.6:1
- Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise --
that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Ehp.4:2-3
- No parents teach their children while they were young they should play and not study in school so they can grow up to be homeless!
- I believe parents will teach their children to make it good in school!
With a good education so they will not grow up to become homeless!
- No parents will tell their children, be sure to be addicted ....
There is no child grow up to become substances abuse!
Why don't I have substance abuse!
Good if people say: Because you are a preacher! Then be a preacher so there would be no homeless!
- Failed to obey these teachings:
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat. 2Thes.3:10
Practice this while children are still young!
Let them know early enough! Make them work for their food!
2. America has this tradition!
By 15 parents would tell them: My child this is your 15 years birth day! Find a job, learn to work.... by 18 you are own your own!
Strictly enforce this one! Make them work hard for what they need!
Very fast they learn a trade to make money to feed themselves!
They have no time to abuse substance! They have no money to buy them! Why do human abuse substance!?
D. Finally: Obey your leaders in the church of Christ!
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.
Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. Heb.13:17
I believe there is no church of Christ leaders teach their people to become substance abuse, do domestic violence!
Get lazy never desire to work hard for a living… so you can become homeless as soon as possible!
As I said, in my 60 years of preaching in church I have yet to see one child grow up to become homeless!
If America learns from us there would be no homeless people on the street!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with all the saints! Amen! Rev.22:21 Written October 28, 2021.

Homeless people in NYC?
Statistic say NYC has 80,000 homeless people sleeping on the streets!
What do you say about a nation that has 45 billion for foreign nations!
721.5 billion for war games! 3.3 billion for Israel. 2.51 billion for Jordan!
Any of the about is much more than enough for the 80,000 homeless to sleep in 5 stars hotel all their life long!
- Know this assuredly!
- I say: There are no homeless people in NYC! It is impossible! Please do not bad mouth about NYC!
A nation has 2.51 billion free to the nation of Jordan! How can there be 80,000 people sleep on their own city street?
- Google search will tell you there are 8.3 million people in NYC. One out of 106 classified as homeless! That is about 80,000!
This is another reason I say it is not true there are 80,000 homeless people in NYC!
One has to be crazy to think 105 people together cannot help one homeless person! This is NYC!
- Google search also say there are five main causes for homelessness! (Not one is true!)
Substance abuse, housing cost, domestic violence, poverty, lack of disabilities and mental health care facilities!
- Not one mentioned about school age children shun learning for playing after school day end!
I live one street away to one elementary school. I work across street of a R.C.C. school.
- I saw some children after school play their hearts out on street and play grounds!
- Thousands of children grown up through our church programs! Over 50 years, not one became homeless!
- About Google’s 5 homeless causes!?
- Substance abuse? This means drug addiction, drinking, smoke, gamble,... addiction!
Our children do not smoke cigarette, do not do drug, do not drink wine, no gamble,... None addicted to anything!
- Our children grow up make good money housing cost is not a cause!
- Domestic violence is non-existing! The Lord Jesus said: Love one another! Can human disobey this instruction!?
- Poverty? What is it?
One simple verse solves this one easily! Eph.4:28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with his own hands,
that he may have something to share with those in need.
*** Not one homeless! Rather! They are able to help those in need!
- Lack of disabilities and mental health facilities? Thank God, not one of our children grew up in need of these facilities!
- Here are some real root causes!
Who gave birth to homeless people? Who feed them and brought them up to become homeless?
Make these people sleep with homeless people on street! If there are some!
C. These are the root causes!
- Lazy in school! Lazy at home! Lazy at work place! Lazy all life! Do you know one of these kinds of people!?
- Too lazy to obey these teaching! Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph.6:1
- No parents teach children to shun learning for playing so they can grow up to be homeless!
- I believe parents will teach their children to make it good in school!
- No parents will tell their children, be sure to be addicted .... There is no child grow up to become substances abuse!
- Too lazy to obey these teachings:
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat. 2Thes.3:10
Practice this while children are still young! Let them know early enough! Make them work for their food!
- America has this tradition!
By 15 parents would tell them: My child this is your 15 years birth day! Find a job, learn to work.... by 18 you are own your own!
Strictly enforce this one! Make them work hard for what they need! Very fast they learn a trade to make money to feed themself!
They have no time and no money to abuse substance
D. Conclusion: There are no homeless people in NYC!
If there are any homeless people anywhere! It is the result of lawlessness!
Lawless government! Lawless parents! Lawless children! Lawless teachers! Lawless human! Lawless all the way!
May God have mercy on all of us!

In Christ? Are you sure?
A few points to verify!
- Do God’s commands and sin not! 1Jn.1:1-6 These two are always together!
- My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn.2:1
- He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1Jn.2:2
- We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 1Jn.2:3
- The man who says: I know him, but do not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn.2:4
- But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him. 1Jn.2:5
- Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1Jn.2:6
- Whosoever abides in him sin not. 1Jn.3:6-10
- Whosoever abides in him sin not: whosoever sin has not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn.3:6
- Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.1Jn.3:7
- He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sin from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn.3:8
- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remain in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn.3:9
- In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that love not his brother. 1Jn.3:10
- Sin not and able to keep himself! 1Jn.5:16-18
- If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 1Jn.5:16
- All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 1Jn.5:17
- We know that whosoever is born of God sin not; but he that is begotten of God keep himself,
and that wicked one touch him not. 1Jn.5:18
- Able to control his own body not to commit fornication! 1Thes.4:1-8
- Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living.
Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 1Thes.4:1
- For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. .1Thes 4:2
- It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid fornication. .1Thes 4:3
- That each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen,
who do not know God; 1Thes.4:4-5
- And that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him.
The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. 1Thes 4:6
- For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. .1Thes 4:7
- Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. 1Thes.4:8
- No love money! No adultery! Heb.13:4-6
- Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Heb.13:5
- So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Heb.13:6
- No suicide! 1Cor.3:16-17
- Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 1Cor.3:16
- If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. 1Cor.13:17
- Not dirty minded! Eph.4:29
- Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
- Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth,
but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.ASV
