I just came back from Boston on a trip with my wife and children. Saw many street performers and donated $ to their little kitty box. They seemed genuine and normal...
I/we chose to ignore the many homeless people asking for change. I must rethink my opinion on not giving them money after reading this. I’ve always felt I would enable them to continue to beg by donating. Or maybe they will run to get a bottle of whiskey instead of a sandwich...’I’m not sure what the answer is but I will just hope they use it the right way when I do give.
I think the answer is simple. We - as a society throughout the world - have abdicated our responsibility for our fellow man by letting governments take control of the money and the distribution.
And .. how many more brilliant doctors; surgeons; and scientists - with keys to spectacular advancements in medicine, and aeronautical engineers; mathematicians, have we thrown into the trash.
Abortion has been the world’s way of getting rid of the evidence of sharing a bed with someone you’re not married to (and why the left supports it); how can a nation who murders its children survive ..?????
Ezekiel 16:49-50 Comparing Jerusalem to Sodom using the imagery of an adulterous wife:
(NIV) 49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
Sadly, these two verses describe very well the spiritual state of my country . . . unconcerned.
