“Something in Scripture about that idea. Deeds. Prayers in your room. Something like that?”

>>> YUP!!!

“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.” Matt. 6

Some good posts of yours. I stay away from the religious discussions in most places, however, your posts on your father’s words struck a chord. When someone like Ben Carson brings religious thoughts into his discussions, I find them comforting. And he walks his own walk in deeds. Others, not so much. In fact, many of them creep me out.

I get your point, but the issue is GOD’S definitions of things. It matters not if men are annoyed by believers. If you’re a more reserved believer, cool, but don’t knock the fire breathers...God uses them too!

Depending on each person’s definition, Paul could be accused of wearing his Christianity on his sleeve because he talked about it everywhere he went.

Thank you. I was trying to remember that line from Matthew.
