Here are some of the verses that the students collected for "The Word on the Streets: Performing the Scriptures on the Streets" assignment along with their interpretations regarding how we are called to act this verse in our world.

"If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother." ~ Deuteronomy 15:7
New International Version (NIV)

"If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother"
~ Deuteronomy 15:7
The Message (MSG)

This verse means that is there is ANY poor man in any city, you should help them and not be proud or ignoring. There are many ways of helping the poor poeple among us. You could support a local homeless shelter, or maybe even buy one of them a meal.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed
~ Psalm 82:3 NIV

"Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy"
~ Psalm 82:3 King James Version (KJV)

This verse means that you should stand up for the weak, fatherless, and poor people. You should make sure that they are treated fairly.
To help "live this out" in our world, make sure that if is something is being done that is unfair to the homeless, stand up for them and try to prevent what is happening.

"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."
~ Proverbs 14:31 NIV

You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless; when you're kind to the poor, you honor God
~ Proverbs 14:31 MSG

This means that if you treat the poor badly, you are basically insulting God. If you are kind and good to the poor, this pleases and honours Him.
To help live this out, you should make sure that you do not mock or treat the poor badly. Treat them as you would like to be treated.

"He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."
~ Proverbs 17:5 NIV

"Whoever mocks poor people, insults their Creator; gloating over misfortune is a punishable crime."
~ Proverbs 17:5 MSG

This verse is very similar to the verse before it. The second part says that if you mock and gloat over the poor, you will be punished, and will not get away with it. God sees what you are doing!
If you do not want to be punished, try to catch yourself every time you might start making fun of or mocking the poor. How would you feel if you were homeless and people said those things about you?

"Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need."
~ 1 Timothy 5:3 NIV

"Take care of widows who are destitute."
~ 1 Timothy 5:3 MSG

This verse means that we need to acknowledge end recognize those who are in need, like widows. We need to take care of them because they might be very lonely.
To help live this out in our world, help the lonely people or any widows (if possible) that you know. Maybe just invite them over for dinner, or make them a card. These can make a big difference.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world
~ James 1:27 NIV

"Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world."
~ James 1:27 MSG

This verse means that the kind of behaviour and actions that God is expecting must be helpful, and selfLESS. It says that we sould reach out and be kind to the homeless, and those who do not feel love.
To show these kind of actions that God is expecting, try to support the homeless as best as you can. You can donate money to a homeless shelter, or work as a volunteer. Stand up for them, and think of how they must feel. Support them in any way you can. For those who do not feel love, SHOW them love. Be there to encourage them when they feel down, buy them a little gift, or things like that. Make them feel loved the way you feel loved by your friends and family.

Leviticus 19:10
"Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God."

Leviticus 19 :10
"Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God."

This verse would be a great reminder to remind people not to be selfish and give even a small amount to the homeless because they don't have anything. This verse also reminds me how selfish we can be.
Leviticus 25 Read This Chapter
25:39 ' If a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave's service.

Leviticus 25: 39

"If one of your countrymen becomes poor among you and sells himself to you, do not make him work as a slave."

This would be a perfact reminder for people who fire people. Although though getting fired is a part of having a job I think the person who fires should give them a certain amount of money just to make sure the person will be able to support themselves for enough time to get another job.

1 Samuel 2:8

" He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them. "

1 Samuel 2: 8
"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; upon them he has set the world."

This would be a good verse to give to homeless people to let them know that the most powerful greatest person loves them and thinks they're rich, ot with money but with strength. I would like to put this verse on a card to hand out to homeless people.
