Must You Film Every Beggar You Help? by PathofLogos(op): 6:50am On Feb 05

I saw a video on YouTube this morning, where someone was giving a vulcanizer "giveaway" and the camera was right in the man's face.

Matthew 6:4 is clear: “Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Why must we use people's poverty to chase clout on TikTok?

If you can't help a person without your phone being out, you're not serving God—you're just an "influencer."

The moment you post it for the "Gram" or "X," you've already collected your reward in likes.

God doesn't owe you anything again.

Why is it so hard for people to help in silence these days? Is the "Well Done" from strangers that important?

It’s the typical NGO move. They post one or two videos, claim the philanthropist title, and then start the "we could do so much more with more money" routine. Next thing you know, the donations are pouring in. That’s how they make their bread, but I’m still a fan of the old-school way—just giving silently and keeping it low-key

Is the giver a follower of Jesus?

Remember that when quoting Jesus only those who believe in him can take his words seriously many people took him for a nuiSance in the first century that is among those who understands his language not to talk of people living over 2,000 years after Jesus has gone! Matthew 7:6😟

That is another vantage point

Among real Christians you won't know any of us that's donating high or low you can only sense by knowing our worth in person but among us there is no announcement regarding who donates neither do we have class among us.

One point that matters most is we don't usually give street beggars money rather we take good care of our fellow believers {Deuteronomy 15:7} so you can't see a beggar among us! Psalms 23:1
