Matthew 6:1-4 - http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/6/1-4#1

This scripture has always been an enigma to me. We are supposed to serve others gladly, without even acknowledging to OURSELVES what we are doing (ie giving glory only to God).

It just came to me today, that this scripture is referring to having an attitude where love and service are so completely integrated into your being that you don't even thing twice about lending a hand... it just happens spontaneously (I guess that comes with practice).

When people say "Thank you" to you, you really feel that you have done nothing at all... and the praise aught to go to the One who has given you the heart that loves, the mind that comprehends, the energy with which to act, and possessions with which to make a difference in the lives of other people.

Is this what Jesus was talking about?
What is your perspective on this scripture?
How have you tried to implement this scripture in your life?

I realize that this isn't the "science" section, but since it's apparently deemed acceptable by so many to participants to bicker over "evolution *vs* creation" and whether or not evolution is scientifically valid, I want to see how everyone responds as this directly relates to the previously mentioned topic. I want to see who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't.

Do the Muslim terrorists pray?

I mean how can they pray peacefully, after killing so many innocent people.. like wouldn't their conscience hurt them? Woudn't they feel guilty to stand in front of God and pray as if nothing has happened?

Or do they even know what their religion is about?

PS: You need not be a terrorist to answer this question, I welcome all answers.

How do you reconcile these with your belief?

Exodus 15:20
Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing.

1 Samuel 18:6-7:
6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with tambourines and lutes. 7 As they danced, they sang:
"Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands."

2 Samuel 6:16:
16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

Psalm 30:11:
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy

Psalm 150:4:
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

Jesus is the Head of the Churches.
God is the Father.
The Apostles did their work by founding churches in numerous places & leaving us the scriptures (which contain the tradition of the Apostles).

The first & second century believers adjusted to the absence of the Apostles and made sure that each church had numerous copies and translations of the scriptures.

This whole control issue did not come up, until Rome lost it's status as the Capital of the Empire.

Why was Catholic Missions so violent? Why did they use the turn or burn concept in trying to force the non-catholics they encountered outside the realms of the old Roman Empire to submit them?
