There was a lady in the store ahead of me the other day. She didn't have enough money for her groceries so I paid for them. She asked me why I did that. I told her because I love Jesus. There were about 5 others that heard me. Nobody said a word. That is planting seed.
Nope. That is bragging! You said you love Jesus. That is NOT the gospel. But hey! Pat that back of yours!!! Oh yeah. You already did didnt you

2So 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. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…

Umm are you sure you understand what the word bragging means? and giving a testimony of being the Lords hands is the gospel and that scripture you posted does not fit the situation.

In what way was what he did constitute bragging? He could have just taken the easy way out and said that he would pray for her knowing full well that she and her family would not be eating that night. How is telling someone the reason of his act saying he loved Jesus improper? It says in the bible to be ready to give and answer to your faith in or out of season and that is exactly what he did. What exactly is the gospel anyway? The Sirk is not one to brag and I commend him for his kind sacrificial act.

OUT OF CONTEXT!!!!

He cant exactly pay for her groceries in secret. And he honestly answered her question. You blast this forum with your "holier than though" pretense and still sleep at night. If anyone is in for a huge surprise when they meet God, you are certainly on that list. Yea, Im judging.. I'm judging because I judge myself and find myself to not be blameless but you, yes you seem to have no fault at all.

Like an atheist, (no, I'm not calling you an atheist) you insist that you are right and that anyone who does not agree with you is wrong. Who's standard are you using? Yours or Christs? Sounds to me like you are using your own. Hey, Ms, check out the timber in your own eye. I'm glad all the scriptures meet your needs so you can spend hours on here blasting everyone for not being more like you.

Ya...I didn't really think of it as bragging by telling the story on here. I help people and I do it with a pure heart.....and I am a very helpful giving person.....not because I want accolades but because I just am. The reason I am helpful with people is because it is how I show others love I guess. Now that I think about it....helping others isn't even about me.

He didn't go trumpeting it and you were not kind in your responding to him, speaking and giving a testimony of doing God's will gives encouragement to others and sometimes even helps them to grow in their faith and leads others to do the same.
I don't care what you say to me or how many times your tongue whips me but when it comes to others kindly back off, if you are a Christian then prove it stop pointing fingers and speaking in a harsh and judgmental manner which is not speaking the truth or standing for the truth nor is it giving correction it's just flat out being mean.

there is a huge and vast difference between a Christian by title and a Christian by heart, I have watched you for a while now and they will know us by our fruit, the fruit of the spirit is Love patience understanding being slow to speak and to anger and being quick to listen you have not shown any of this you respond in a rude and crude manner you point the finger and make false accusations you hate correction and instantly play the being judged card but you do not hesitate to judge others you show neither the fruits nor the heart of God and honestly I don't believe you to be a true Christian and I am not meaning to be mean and if I appear to be being mean I truly apologize and will gladly receive correction
