0:00.0 | All right, sorry I'm a bit late. Let's get into it. My name is Mike Winger. I'm here to |
0:12.5 | try to answer your questions on Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, whether that's evidence |
0:17.9 | for the Christian faith or different types of proofs or maybe pastoral type of advice |
0:22.8 | or counsel that you might have or just theological questions that you've got. I just promised |
0:27.1 | not to make up answers and to be open and transparent about where my limits are in my |
0:32.5 | own knowledge or my own understanding of a thing. And I think by doing this, you learn |
0:36.5 | how to think of it quickly about everything. And that's why we do these Friday Q and A's. |
0:39.8 | And so our first question that we've got for today comes in from Malcolm T. And Malcolm |
0:46.7 | says, why would Jesus instruct us to let our good works be seen by others, Matthew 5.16? |
0:53.1 | He also instructed us to do our good works in secret, Matthew 6 versus 1 through 4. Am I |

1:16.5 | I dealt with a lot of non-believers in my family. Whether they were non-believers or maybe |
1:22.1 | they just weren't comfortable with the degree to which I was going to follow Jesus and take |
1:27.2 | it seriously. You know, they just want to be like tone it down a bit. You know, be Christian, |
1:30.8 | but don't be like that kind of, you know, all all in sort of Christian. And so I dealt with a |
1:37.1 | lot of that stuff. And it gives you this like awareness of how someone uses a question like this |
1:44.7 | against the truthfulness of Christianity. And also the more you look into it, the more you study, |
1:49.1 | the more you realize how silly the whole thing is. So let's dig into this and let's look at |
1:53.9 | the actual passages. And we will see is Jesus contradicting himself? What is going on here? So |
