Which is not such a good idea in view of these Scriptures.
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. (Mt 6:1).
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. (Mt 6:17,18)
"Alms" means "Compassion towards the poor" in Greek.
Jesus told us;
Matt. 5:
16 Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your "good works", and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Jesus said there is only one being that is "Good" and that is God. Therefore only "God's" works are "Good". Man's "work" is a filthy rag.
Remember, Jesus didn't feed everyone, and He didn't heal "everyone". Men feeding the poor is not a "Good" work of God because God is able to raise up stones to feed the poor.. Therefore when we are led to do it, we must do it before God and not man.
But that is different than to "Love God with all your heart" or obeying God's Holy Sabbaths He created for man. Of observe other "Good" Works God created for us. These are "works" of Faith that show others, and our self, who we serve.
I am not ashamed to obey God and follow His Righteousness.
If I have faith in the Catholic church, I show my faith by eating fish on Friday, or Lent, etc. If I have faith in Mohammad, I show my faith by my prayer rug.
If I have Faith in the God of Abraham and His Son, then I show that faith by serving Him and obeying his instructions. Jesus said to let this light shine before men.
Since men naturally hate God as it is written, they will also hate those who do the "works of God".
Matt. 10:
22 And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end
shall be saved.
So when we are scorned for simply doing as our Savior and God instructs, God is glorified because He said this would happen.
1 Peter 3:
12 For the eyes of the Lord
are over the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord
is against them that do evil.
It is evil to know a Commandment of God and reject it. That IS the definition of sin.
13 And who
is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy
are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
From the only God of Abraham preaching church on the planet killing Jesus and Stephen for doing the perfect "works" of God, all the way back to Abel, who was killed by his "Christian" brother because Abel did God's righteousness, and his brother rejected God's Righteousness. This theme continues to this day.
If you want to see the scorn of the "Many" who come in Christ's name, simply mention the righteousness of God's Holy Sabbath, or of His Holy Days, or the sin of creating images of God in the likeness of some men's hair shampoo model. Just like Jesus said.
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or
as a thief,
or as an evildoer,(By definition a transgressor of God's Commandments) or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16 Yet if
any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time
is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18
And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God "commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing," as unto a faithful Creator. .
Another work we are instructed to do.
