For many years, my husband and I rented a building to a ministry that provided "homeless" housing and ran a free meals program. It was very evident that for every truly needy person, there were a dozen lazy, drunken, or drugged up freeloaders. Instead of helping them, it just enabled to support their chosen lifestyles. Most "homeless" are that way by choice. They choose not to work, be responsible, and fulfill their obligations. Rush is right!

Yes, many of the poor choose to live that way.

But, your attitude is not one Christ would want us to have.

And, it is no a very good American one either...we have the attitude in crime that it is better for 100 guilty to get away with murder than for one innocent to be imprisoned. I think it should be the same with ministry. Yeah, some are freeloaders. But, that doesn't make such ministries bad...they are vital.
