Voices: So-called Christians
Why are so many people against the homeless folks at City of Refuge?
A group from Main Street Joplin is against the sale of the First Baptist Church building because of possible unfavorable impressions from visitors to Joplin.
I’m pretty sure that the Second Street viaduct is closer to Main than the church. And that is where most of these unfortunate people will probably go. Of course, that way they would be mostly out of sight. Maybe that’s what these “Christians” want. They are more worried about property values and personal belongings than they are helping the homeless.
Souls Harbor is right on Main Street. Are they going to start burning crosses there and try to move them out, too?
Matthew 19:24: “It is easier to thread a needle with a camel than for a rich person to get to heaven.”
Maybe some of these people should think about this.
Everyone needs a little help at some time or another. I have met and spoken with pastor Dan Anderson, and I wish I could offer him additional assistance, as he is a true Christian.
