Why do some Christian’s not offer help?

[youdontneedto]

(forgive my grammar)

I noticed this with a majority of Christians not all. You come to some of them for help and they say something like “I’m thinking of in my prayers.” And then go on and do not even attempt to help you I was thinking of so called friend I needed help and all she could say is “just cry out and he will hear you.” Literally is the same thing as having money in your pocket to help someone and instead you say “I’m sending my thoughts and prayers.” Or if someone doesn’t have a home they may say something like “I hope you find a home.” And then finish off with a God bless. I needed a friend at the time and I thought she was a miracle at first, but then she started twisting versus to get me to go to her church instead of the one I’m already go to. I’m sure she added or twisted the verse to use fear and it’s not the good kind. It’s the kind where they use stuff to their advantage to get people to do things. She never invited me anywhere or tried be a friend for me. She was never there for me. All I did was get scared away and left feeling empty because of her. That’s what they call faith without works. They can talk the talk, but when it comes time for helping….

Because they do not really believe. Keith Green said it well in his song ""Asleep in the Light"

from the song

"No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds and He cares for your needs
And you just lay back and keep soaking it in
Oh, can't you see it's such sin?
'Cause He brings people to your door
And you turn them away
As you smile and say
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all Heaven just weeps
'Cause Jesus came to your door
You've left Him out on the streets"

Most Christians tells you “it’s God’s will” if something bad happens. If something good happens they say “it’s a miracle from God”. Win win for them both way,

[fembotnpc777]

Because people are selfish nowadays. I have a close friend who acts like a true Christian: actually helps people in need, etc. He's the exception, not the rule. I'm a Christian myself and I'm saying this.

I strongly feel that churches need to serve their community instead of sending money overseas. It's unintentionally made people sociopaths.

[Guy13]

There's no need for a bunch of pontificating...

[Guy13]

now, these verses are Christians speaking directly to other Christians... and for the Christian community sake. Some of it does spill over into the Greater unsaved Community too:
If a brother or sister (Fellow Christian) is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you say to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:15-17).
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world (James 1:27).

Because prayer is helpful. Also some people ask for help in one way when they need help in another way.
