It costs too much to be poor
That’s right. You read it correctly.
I am thinking of the homeless particularly. If you are rich, white, and smell good, I am sure you will be welcome, but if you are homeless, then you are not.
Yes, I actually checked on this. I asked if we could host homeless people in our church and was told NO. In fact absolutely not.
And, I was told that by insisting on this, that my idea of helping the poor actually does more harm that good.
I was told this by leadership people at my church!
So, don’t come to church with me! Please… go to church, but not where I go. We couldn’t possibly jack up church more profoundly unless we raped alter boys and held Grand Inquisitions.
No. Find a church, alright, but find one that welcomes “the least of these” and thus welcomes Jesus.
Hard Times Ministries 
Do people honestly believe that the Holy Spirit won’t dwell in homeless people? It is such a sad thing to think that some churches have become so complacent with the world that society’s vanities have replaced Christ’s call to minister to lost souls.
