Give some more


"So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.” - Mat 6:2

What just struck me about this verse and Jesus’ teaching on giving to the poor is that there is no command to give; it is just assumed that you are giving. Culturally that seems a lot different than our society today. Do you give to the poor? You may tithe and give regularly to the church, but do you give to the poor?
