I was talking to my brother and he was telling me that people that walk up to strangers asking for money are people trying to get up enough money to buy drugs and I was wondering,how many people genuinely need help but those that are hustling for drug money have made It almost Impossible to trust the motives of anyone asking for help?

If you feel God is telling you to give it doesn't matter what the one receiving does with the gift.
Only that you are obedient.

I don't know about you but today, when I study world leaders and their poicies it zonks my mind to the point of meltdown. Just a cursory study of the policies of so many of these people is enough to depress anyone were it not for our faith. Yes, when Jesus Christ returns the first thing He will do is destroy the destroyers.........Revelation.

One thing you can do in that situation is offer to buy them a Take Away. If they genuinely need food or a drink they will accept your offer if not then you will know they are hustling you for drugs or alchohol. We have what I call proffessional
beggers here. They are people who pretend to be down and out but in reality have a decent home and probably earn more from begging than you do in your job!

Who has been more successful, Bill Gates or Billy Graham?

Hmm Depends on how you rate success. I wouldn't ask Bill Gates to Preach the Gospel or Billy Graham to fix my Computer.

Puts me in mind of the story about a man who buys a House and looks in the Attic
He finds an old painting and a Violin up there.
He takes them to an Antique Dealer to see if they are worth anything
The Dealer says what you have is a Constable and a Stradivarius
The man says great I'm rich
The Dealer replies unfortunately Constable was a lousy Violin maker
and Stradivarius was a rotten Artist

ELO, my all-time favorite pop-rock group, and they truly are well-honed aritists at their craft. I cannot believe how these fellas sound just like the did in the lat 1960's...........this concert is live this year.......incredible. I guess I picked the right groups to keep in mind.
