You're correct: there are those who don't want help and simply want to do whatever it is they want to do. I'm not aware of any instances where our church has had to call the police on anyone, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
Now that I remember, one of our pastoral staff dressed up like a homeless person - complete with raggy / smelly clothes and completely filthy dirty as if he'd been on the street for weeks - and walked into our church building one Sunday morning as services were getting ready to start.
He anticipated that he'd be ignored and that no one would offer assistance of any kind.
He was completely wrong. He kept up the act of being a homeless person and not wanting to communicate as long as he could, eventually breaking down and giving into the help he was being offered and then revealed himself as one of our Pastors.
Same Pastor went up on stage and delivered one of the most powerful sermons about the heart of the Church that I think I'd ever seen.
It would seem that to some here, that is the issue - they do not want to see that. Judging a book by it's cover.
Great post
What a tremendous example. Thank you.
