Caused either by Mental Problems, Laziness, Sin or Left-Wing Cause de jour
Do I feel compassion for the homeless? Yes, and proved it in Tallahassee, Florida where I led the church I pastored to found the city's Rescue Mission, Food Bank, Children's Home and prison ministry, all of which our church financed and ran. So much reporting today is Fake News that the truth gets buried in a mountain of lies and misinformation ... that half of the nation is brain-washed to ignore the spiritual answers to our nations problems.
In the United States, welfare, food, housing and medical care are all easily secured without charge. In Bible days there were no such programs and few jobs. Most people had to produce their own food and build their own place of abode and homelessness was common and unavoidable, for the weak. Drug use was almost unheard of and not a cause of homeless. Down and out people had to beg and depend on the kindness of passers by. But today, in America, homelessness is not a cause but an effect. Unemployment numbers are far lower than unfilled, available jobs. Free money from the government even makes homelessness more likely in that cash and food stamps or cards are commonly traded for drugs. Even though prostitution, theft, homelessness, crime, and mental problems have always been a deteriorating element in all nations, they are now an effect often caused by drug abuse ... or at least compounded by drug abuse. Some pseudo experts insist that drug abuse is not a cause but an effect. But under that premise we would have to believe that hate, child abuse, rape and all kinds of sin are also more of an effect, caused by the sinner's parents, teachers, society, or simply by someone other than the criminals themselves. So someone else is at fault for my sins. Some experts even call drug abuse a "disease". But if so, it is the only disease brought on by the voluntary purchase and voluntary injection, or voluntarily smoked .... for which there is no cure except willfully quiting it or a spiritual conversion. No matter how tragic someones background and unjust treatment, as many victims of such experiences find peace, acceptance, success and happiness as the number who go the other way into alcoholism and drug abuse. And remember God's promise that "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord ....". All things means ALL things, good bad or terrible. But you must believe it and accept it by grace through faith. Abuse of drugs is far more a cause than an effect and is never an irrevocable cause or effect.

It is not drug addiction that is ruining our country. It is WEAK, ILL ADVISED, LEFT-WING, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS in many of our largest cities, mostly run by Democrats, who are ruining our blessed nation. Google or Bing your questions and you will see that it is true. Here is a documentary video of one of those cities ... Seattle. Like San Francisco, it was once one of the most desirable places in the world to live or visit ... but not now. RB
