[quote:Anonymous Coward 82659173:MV81MDk3Nzc2XzkzNDY2OTE2X0EzMkREMkZF] [quote:Builder of the Adytos:MV81MDk3Nzc2XzkzNDY2NjEwXzQxMTIzMEY2] 1 CORINTHIANS 13 1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. 4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 8Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. 11When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 13Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13: 1 - 13 [/quote] Thanks for sharing great scripture !

Original Message
Let’s say the believer does give tithes. And does pray in Jesus name. And goes to church like they are supposed to do. However When the hungry comes to them, they do not feed. Maybe they pray to God, God help them or save them. But they don’t feed them. Or they see someone without shoes. And pray send them new shows. But give not their own shoes .
Now for the unbeliever
-does not pray in Jesus name. He has is own way of worship.
-maybe even cusses out God, calls him a tyrant and all kinds of vulgar language
-gives his money to charities for the poor and hungry
-when the hungry come to him, he feeds them.
-when the unbeliever sees a homeless man with no shoes, he takes his shoes off and gives them to him
Now who will God exalt ?
The one who gives lip service but is lukewarm , or the one who is cold as ice yet gives everything they can to the needy.
