Next time you see a video of someone giving to the poor, taking a selfy giving someone shoes or food or a place to live, please don't praise them! Anyone who makes sure others are watching their good deeds, even to the point of putting it on the internet, we can be sure that they are showing off while violating the Scripture that tells us not to do it.
Matthew 6:1-4
1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with... your Father who is in heaven.
2 “So when you [a]give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
3 But when you [b]give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
