COP

Change of  Plans:  

 Intentional Giving

Yes, I will be doing my "intentional giving" (see previous post), but I won't be posting about it.
I was wrestling, thinking, pondering, studying and praying,
if I should be posting about my giving. 
I came to the conclusion that this should be done in private.

I studied the Bible specifically about giving.
I found, we are not to abstain from doing good deeds.
But we are not to shine a light or call attention to ourselves when doing these good deeds.

So........ with that, I will continue to give but won't be posting about it. Just know, I'm having fun!


Matthew 6:1-4

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

  5. Timely reminder.

    You are correct. (Actually, that would be Jesus being correct, but you are correct to repeat Him.)
