Let us look at your sound bite. Add the verse after we see how you tryed to turn a truth into a lie.

Matthew 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

alms
/ä(l)mz/
plural

1.
(in historical contexts) money or food given to poor people:
“the riders stopped to distribute alms”

Alms and physical service are two different things in this context. The yellow t-shirts are to help in a job that needs coordination and safty. If you ever went with a group to help a disaster clean up you would understand this. Anything that improves your ability to help without injury is good.

Given your history of poseting not Elsie stuff, I believe that you will use the yellow t-shirt again.

Joseph Smith managed to turn a lie into 'truth'; so I'm merely trying to RECTIFY his (let's be kind) mistake.

Besides; shouldn't we be looking at the whole context?


Matthew 6:1-5

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
