From another thread (about clothing)
"The reason I ask is that the context of a verse you mentioned was about how we treat those are poor. Our church is located in an area with a large homeless population (intentionally located there). We often have people dressed as I described above because that is what they own. They live on the streets (they can sleep at the shelter at night but have to leave each morning)."
In this thread lets talk what should our churches be doing about the homeless?
First, why are they homeless?
No job, lost a job, major life altering action, divorce, major financial situation, no vehicle, ect
So what can or should our churches be doing to give folks a hand up?
