Homeless

Homeless

Israel found themselves homeless when they were kicked out of Egypt and managed to care for the needs of their society through faith, hope and charity. Early Christians Jews were cast out of Rome by Claudius and the next thing we know is that Paul went into the tent making business. When Jerusalem was destroyed thousands left while Titus's army surrounded it.

Those people who left were stripped of all their possessions and money by the rebellious Jews who had just seized control of the city and recently had thrown James, the head of the Church at that time, from one of its wall.

Most of those people were probably Christians. They suddenly found themselves destitute and homeless because of their faith. Through out the ages people have often become homeless through no fault of their own.

Many Americans left their homes in Europe to come to America to start with little or nothing. The lessons they learned about a strong society where private initiative rewarded itself, yet the needy were not forgotten made this nation strong.

It was faith, hope and charity that made this nation strong, not socialist government or even democracy.
