I saw this on FB!

A friend who just lost his job called you on saturday & begged you for 1k to buy food for his family and u replied u don't have money.
Only for you to get to church the following day being Sunday & you make a donation of 10k.

What do u say about this?

Wisdom is profitable to direct. That sounds more like hypocrisy. Christ already admonished us to help the needy. Read Matthew 25vs35-45.


[b] 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ [/b]

Offerings are gifts to God, isn't it? And 'whatsoever you do to the least (i.e. the poor) of my brothers, that you do unto me (God)'. Me think it's extreme hypocrisy

The truth be told many so called Christians are guilty of this.

That's why when I look at them, I see them as those that lack understanding of the teaching of Christ.


Let love lead in our daily lives.
