“Think not you are charitable if the love of Jesus and His brethren be not purely the motive of your gifts. Alas! you might not give your superfluities, but "bestow all your goods to feed the poor;" you might even "give your body to be burned" for them, and yet be utterly destitute of charity, if self-seeking, self-pleasing or self-ends guide you; and guide you they must, until the love of God be by the Holy Ghost shed abroad in your heart.” IfsThinkingGivingHeartEndsSelfBodyMightJesusPoorHolyCharitySeekingGuidesYour BodyGhostGod LoveMotiveGoodsShedBurnedAlasHoly GhostCharitableBrethrenDestitute Author:Hugh Reginald Haweis
“Jesus, it is true, shows no personal interest in gain, but he does speak of treasure in heaven and even of mansions as an inducement to follow him.

“If we all gave all our goods to the poor, the church would fall apart. If we all hated our father and mother, as Jesus told us to, there'd be an end of the church's emphasis on the family as being the one important thing holding the whole society together. There are all sorts of ways in which the church's teachings contradict directly what Jesus says in the Gospel.” IfsWayImportantEndsWholeTogetherMotherFallFatherJesusChurchPoorTeachingImportant ThingsHatedGoodsEmphasisFalling ApartOur Father Author:Philip Pullman
