I admire the preacher. From the looks He's a kindhearted individual who likes to practice what he preaches. This couple probably plays nice around him, so he wanted to help them out. But when he's not around that's when their real personalities come out.
I have experience with this exact type of thing, honestly. For about a year I used to live in this house with 4 other friends of mine. We all went to the same church together, and basically did ministry work together.
Well there was a homeless guy, who was also pretty hard on drugs. He was the nicest and the coolest guy. He wasn't a gangbanger type guy, not aggressive at all, but genuinely a good dude who lost everything and everyone because he wanted to drugs. We agreed to help him out, but he had to get clean. He went to rehab, 2 weeks later he ran away. He said rehab was too "corny". We gave him another chance. We allowed him to stay in the house under the condition that he does no drugs, and he never brings in company unless we approve. We helped him get a job at Mcdonalds, and we all basically would work together so that he always had a ride to and from work. This arrangement worked for about a month. Until one day, there is an altercation in our front yard. Our homeless friend was getting jumped in the front yard by some dudes. 2 of my roommates grabbed their firearm and basically demanded those punks get off of our property immediately. They left our yard immediately, but not without showing their guns and said something to the extent of "we have no beef with yall, mind your business we mind our business, but we have guns too". Turns out our friend tried to steal drugs from them. Not armed robbery, but he grabbed the drugs and tried to run. He got caught in our yard.
As you can imagine, this was our last straw. We kicked him out. He cried, pleaded, begged on his knees, everything. But we all ran out of sympathy that night. A month later he spotted me at the gas station. I tried to avoid being seen and run away, but he caught up to me. He begged me to take him to his grandmother's place. As he say it, the only person in the world to ever love him. I begrudgingly agreed to it. He smelled like he hadnt showed in a month. I made that hour drive to take him to his grandmother's. I told him then that unless he gets clean, this is the last that I ever want to see him again.
I think our tough love worked out for him in the end. Last year sometime, he found me on Facebook. He went back to rehab eventually, and actually stayed the course and he'd been clean for about a year so far. He has a small section 8 apartment, but he does have a full-time job in a warehouse somewhere. I couldn't be more proud of the guy. He indeed came a very long way.

All that there is exactly why I don’t do nice things for people.

I would explain to him that his bleeding heart isn’t more important than my child’s safety and he doesn’t need to loan his home out to homeless people he doesn’t know

How do we know you didn’t shoot the guy, steal the truck, and hammer the buxom blonde?

I don't I think you should be mad at all. Their intentions are good and we could use more people in the world willing to do the right thing but he's definitely naive. I would make sure he knows how it's disturbing everybody and causing a problem that reflects poorly on him. I don't think you have to preach to him at all about his naivete. I think he just learned that lesson.

Although for me, this is a “do as I say, not as I do” thing. Because I’d prob be pissed. But he was trying to be a good person.

I don't know. Almost a week of drug fueled crazies running around right outside my house has me slightly upset?
This is equivalent to people in Fairbanks complaining about the cold.

I know a few "generous" people.. I tell them I think it's great but DO NOT involve me in your generosity.

I have a rescue dog myself, I agree. I’m talking about the kind dog that has lived its whole life outside, has all kinds of worms & infections, and will piss and shite all over your house.

For the free entertainment? You should be thanking him.
I live next to a white guy that loves blaring shitty rap music at all hours, and has the cops called on him at least once every other week, usually after one of his fights with the ol' lady spills out into the street. (One of them always threatens to leave the other for good "after tonight.") Oh and he's always just generally yelling at his kids or dogs, or at one of his many, many, many friends that swing by for 5-10 mins at a time... At all hours, for who-knows-what reasons.
The free "entertainment" gets old pretty quick.

My grandmother and grandfather had an issue with their preacher also. I went to their house one day and there was a guy I had never seen before working on my uncles van at my grandfather's house. Of course my Grandfathers garage was wide open and he had all kinds of tools collected over 50+ years.
The guy looked shady as frick. I asked my Grandmother who it was and she said it was someone their preacher was trying to help out. He claimed he knew all about cars but it was pretty obvious his experise ended after pullint the hood release.
Preacher came by about an hour later and I pulled him to the side and asked him what the deal was. He tried to explain... I told him my Grandparents were in their 80s and I didn't like this one bit. He gave me some bullshite about doing good deeds... etc.. My uncle came over and listened a for a minute and turned kind of red and told me later that was kind of embarassing for the family.
4 days later the guy skipped town. We were having Sunday lunch at my grandparents. Preacher had lent him some money, church had lent him some money, took a bunch of lawn equipment from the church. Luckily didn't go back to my grandparents. I looked across the table at my uncle and locked eyes. I'm sure he felt like a complete dumbass but we never talked about it again.
Values... everyones are not the same. Homeless people have VERY different values than families in homes they worked hard to get.
