Most people asking for money on exit ramps won't take the time to go to a food pantry. They don't really want food as much as they do cash to support their vice of choice.
Actually, approximately half of those people suffer from mental illness and yes, addiction. They need our compassion, not derision. Telling them to just "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" isn't the answer. It's not just laziness, they need help.
As for Cross Church, I don't know it or Ronnie Floyd. But I know the type. If/when Jesus comes again, it's my belief he'll weep again at the billions of dollars spent building temples for men around the world, when a homeless, sick, addicted man is slowly dying just down the street. I don't get it.

While I partially agree with you, I have seen countless times where these folks have been offered jobs to make some case for their food/vices and they turn them down. I had a man tell me he could make more in a week at an intersection than he could at any job.
This is where I stop giving and start complaining. The jobs offered weren't at Micky D's either, decent jobs paying upwards of 12-15 an hour for someone without a degree and much training. Some with benefits, training programs.
If you wont lay the crack pipe down long enough to take a hand up, well...…
