I am no longer going to watch videos of people being generous or helping others. I cannot be party to taking away their reward in heaven by advertising their good deeds.
John 12:43 "43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God."
Proverbs 29:5 " 5 A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps."
It's one thing to speak about ministry where someone becomes born again, then we can all rejoice, but these canned and planned efforts to feed the poor or give to others while making sure everyone else sees what they are doing, is becoming rampant and sickening really.
Wonderful, do good deeds, but do not tell anyone and do not display it on facebook, bragging is a sin and that's all these videos do. Also, do not video others doing good deeds, let them alone to serve God without the fanfare.
Matthew 6:2-4 "…2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…"
Let God be the one to bless someone for their good deeds.
