You do want to give God the glory after all don’t you?
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” … Except on Social Media. Then you should announce your righteous beliefs regularly so that everyone knows how spiritual and Christian you are. You might want to throw in a little condemnation of those who don’t share your beliefs while you’re at it. “And when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets and do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” … Of course this doesn’t apply on your tax returns, you can certainly announce your charitable giving there. And if you can use your giving to inspire others, then by all means you should. You don’t want to hide your light under a bushel. And be sure to proclaim to others that the reason you have prospered in this life is because you have tithed and put your trust in god and that god has rewarded you for your generosity. You do want to give God the glory after all don’t you?
