Ignoring the poor

A last thought. I don't have an answer to this one, just an observation. There was a pedway between several of the hotels and the Shaw Conference Center. Here and there along the pedway were guys playing guitars with their cases open, guys panhandling, selling Street News magazines, etc. Picture streams of Christians flowing by them, ignoring them, on their way to turn their heart's doorknobs for God. I did see a few people giving money and preaching/chastising at the same time. So, what was the answer? Is there one, or several? I have no idea - it just all seemed pretty false, all of us walking past, ignoring the poor. And I wasn't any better. Pretty sad.
