Entry: Against Unselfishness Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/against_unselfishness#18419 Post contents: I can't believe we are still discussing this after I nailed it on the forth "writeback"! All while quoting a Methodist minister or pastor or preacher or whatever-they're-called, nonetheless! Face it, unselfishness is using your talents to Glorify God, which, once again, consists of the Precepts of the Church. An adjunct of what one gathers from following the Precepts of the Church are the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, which are the ONLY proper and True way to provide Charity. Notice admonishing the sinner is on the list. That doesn't mean to make him sit around and listen to our sins, but to point out his own. This doesn't mean we shouldn't remove the beam from our own eye; but after we remove that beam, we should then help our brother remove the mote from his. God tells us (Matthew 7:5): "cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Sent at: 2008 08 30
