Life, Love, and Everything In Between

This makes me REALLY mad

so i live in outside a small city (17,000) but its had such rapid growth in the past few years that it still has a small town attitude. Hear is the problem though. So im on the stage at church this morning and im singing as usual and i look out into the congregation as i usually do and i see this man in the second row dressed very messaly with hair all over the place. My first thought was 'huh, he should have combed his hair before coming to church' and i continued looking around to find my friends. My eyes come back to the messy haired guy. I realize then that this guy is homeless. I was encouraged by this though. This man came from calgary, i don't know how, to attend a church. He was obviously seeking out God, or at the very least some help. Partway through the singing i noticed that he looked over at the door like someone was talking to him, then he got up and walked out the side door.
Now i find out later, that some of the people in the church were uncomfortable with a homeless man in their church and wanted him to leave. GAH!!! Church is not a place to sit and be comfortable!! He has every right to be there. Is he not human? did Jesus not die for him as well as me? Or did Jesus die for middle class north americans that can afford to drive nice cars and that make $60,000 a year. Thankfully i saw him return to his seat a few minutes later. I guess someone thought the same way i did. What is happening to this world?
