Christian response to homelessness

[Daniel Marsh]

How should Christians relate to homeless people, and how should they help? Should they help?
Is it a matter of prayer only, or what else should be offered?
Should non-Christians be helped?
What are your opinions? And what does the Bible say?
Are you, as saved Christians, under any obligation to help others?

Here is a video about one woman's experience of homelessness..

There is a ministry that I work thru called Love Inc,. they are in most US states.

I've been homeless, and slept under a few bridges myself BTW.

I often struggle with the best use of my time, and of my own energy and efforts, along with my own abilities/inabilities with how I can best "truly help people", etc, and it's something I put quite a bit of thought and energy and effort into over the years, and it's something I can still come up empty on sometimes in spite of all of it/that over the years, etc.

So, I guess I will just say that I will let you know when any more information is forthcoming on it, ok.

I do try to do practical help when and where I can, etc.

God Bless.

Would you withdraw your assistance because it doesn't feel like love anymore?

Just because you withdraw assistance doesn't take away from your love for them. Just assisting them in the first place shows you have compassion.

Drop them like a hot potato?

Yes! I would drop my kids from assistance if the burden became too overwhelming to me or I felt I was being used.
