Now in Redding, California if you are one of the more than 3,000 homeless men, women, and children in Shasta County caught by a small campfire trying to keep warm within Redding's city limits, or sleeping anywhere in a car, you can receive up to six months in jail, and a $1,000 fine.
God, from one end of the Bible to the other, expresses his desire for us to care, uphold and provide for the poor. Is it God's will that poverty should be a crime? Is it not written, "He who oppresses the poor, reproaches His Maker?" Didn't Jesus say, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me?"
Mental illness does not respond to increased fines and jail time. Homelessness does not respond to tearing down their temporary shelters, throwing away their possessions, and driving them out of town. A lack of hope does not respond to a lack of love.
