3 views on giving to street panhandlers

CT has differing views from:

• A ‘generous monk’ who says to ‘give freely’
• An urban missions director who says to give ‘only as a last resort‘
• A leading evangelical social activist who advocates ‘don’t‘

I’m reminded of the words of Dr. George Sweeting, chancellor of Moody Bible Institute, who once told me that  a Holy Spirit-guided follower of Christ  that you should rarely stifle a generous impulse.

What do you think?
