He will look with favor on the prayer of the homeless; he will not despise their plea.
- Psalm 102:17
Today, the Political Left (which does not seem terribly convicted that the Word of God is true, and essential to life), likes to use Scripture in the face of believers. Like Satan, when tempting Christ, they are always saying "Isn't it written . . . ", but only to shame God's people.
This passage from the Psalms is a good one. If God looks with favor on the homeless, then what's the Christian Right's problem? Why are they always cutting federal support for housing programs?
Why do we care how the homeless get their help, as long as they get help?
God does direct us to care for the homeless. In the Old Testament, it is right up their with sexual morality. So we do have to care for the homeless. Shame on us if we don't
But it does not have to be through taxes and government programs. That is not what the Lord meant. We are supposed to personally and directly help the homeless.
But we are supposed to help them.
