Re: Do you believe in feeding the homeless?

None of the churches that I have been a member of have had a specific program that feeds the homeless. I would feed some homeless people (at least, no program that I was aware of).

There have been times where I have told the homeless person, "No." I am reminded of a very, very fat homeless lady-- I did not give her any more food.

If my family is hungry, I will feed them. But generally, my fams all have their common sense and are able to take care of themselves. If one became a substance abuser or gambler or just plain irresponsible, I would still fed them, but try really hard to help them to change their lives.

If after my efforts, they still refuse to change, I'd probably not help them, unless they were at the point of death or some other extreme situation.

I would not give to foreign missions while neglecting my family.

Everyone who is able to work and/or find work should do so in order to eat, pay bills, by gas, etc.
