Therefore, when you do thine alms,<strong> do not sound<\/strong> a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have the glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. <strong>Matthew 6;1-2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then Jesus said to His disciples, \u201cTherefore I say to you,<strong> do not worry about your life,<\/strong> what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And which of you, by worrying, can add one cubit to his stature? If you cannot do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?<strong> Luke 12:22-28.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAnd do not seek what you should<\/strong> eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. <strong>Luke 12:29-31.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDo not fear,<\/strong> little flock, for it is your Father\u2019s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. <strong>Luke 12:32-34.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know the commandments, <strong>Do not<\/strong> commit adultery, <strong>Do not<\/strong> kill, <strong>Do not<\/strong> steal, <strong>Do not<\/strong> bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.<strong> Mark 10:19.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But if you do not forgive,<\/strong> neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. <strong>Mark 11:26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise, you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
