Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. Matthew 6:1-4

You said that perhaps they gave just to give. Maybe, maybe not. We can't know their motives. What we can know, however, is what God's Word says about it. If they were giving from a true heart, giving as a result of the obedience of their will to God's will, then they certainly would not broadcast it, and Godfollow referenced God's Word when he spoke about the amount (percentage) given to God's purposes. People who live in multi-million dollar homes which are paid for by pleas to those who have little, are not exactly giving all they have. Godfollow isn't "judging" them - God's Word already has as shown by both passages (and many more) cited here and by Godfollow.

Also, a few questions for you.
1. You have "judged" Godfollow by saying Your misapplication of the scriptures in order to judge those you personally disapprove of is just astounding. What is the difference in heart attitude between how you claim Godfollow is judging and how you are judging Godfollow? Scriptural foundations for your answer here and your comment would be very helpful.
2. You say that Godfollow misapplies the scripture yet you give no explanation of that. Saying that doesn't mean it is true. Can you please show exactly how you think he is misapplying the scripture?

First of all I never claimed to know Godfollow's "heart attitude".
You are the one framing this as a discussion about a person's "heart attitude", not me.

I simply addressed what he posted.

Secondly, the difference between my "judging" and Godfollow's "judging" is simple;

Godfollow judged what Paul and Jan's reward in Heaven would be.

I made no such judgment on Godfollow.

I simply judged what Godfollow posted as wrong and unscriptural.

I will leave Godfollow's "reward" for this, up to God.
