It seems to be that we can best apply Jesus’ lesson on helping the poor, etc. through organized programs and organizations, such as the Salvation Army or other charities. Not through one on one attempts to help people who probably have issues that you and I can’t deal with.

I believe it is fine to do that but i don,t believe Jesus was talking about organizations, he was talking about giving of ourselves.

Like the story of the good Samaritan, we could drive fifty miles to the nearest town and tell the red cross that a man was freezing to death back down the road fifty miles.

But i believe Jesus would want us to at least take him in to town.
