Wrong Mr. Pope! We have an obligation to be a "faithful and wise steward" (Luke 12:42). If a person sees another in need of food, offer to buy them the food and see if they are really hungry. Someone needs gas, go to the gas station with them and buy a container and fill it up and see if they really have a vehicle that just ran out of gas. But to simply hand out money, that is only the way being provided by Satan to take money away from what could be used in sharing the gospel. Sure, if you are going to spend the money on yourself, as the article correctly points out, then it really does not matter. But a true Christian would not be wasting money on themselves either by indulging in self pleasures.
