Christians used to follow the example of the good samaritan--they used to HELP people, and they didn't preach and lecture all the time. Twenty years ago the slogan was "they will know we are christians by our love" and they held themselves to the verse "whatsoever you have done to these the least of my brethren, that ye have done unto me." Those are Christs words and his followers believed that their actions speak louder than words
Nowadays churches have closed the doors on their homeless shelters and soup kitchens in most areas and gotten rid of the vouchers they used to use to help people in times of desperate need. Showing up to church in your best clothes is no longer good enough when your best clothes are jeans and a work shirt--and heaven help the homeless person who tries to walk through that door on sunday. When did Christ tell these people that it was more important to nag the people who don't want or need their help than to help the people who need Him? out of characters.
