“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.” – Matthew 6:1
Translation:
“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.”
You should not want to go to church to look good for others. You should want to do right/righteous through Christ. You shouldn’t let the negative have an influence in who you are or what you stand for. We do want to have the right kind of influence on everyone around us, we should not make our decisions about spiritual beliefs due to being seen by others to be honored because of it. We should be honoring and trusting the God.
We should walk and talk, not only in church, but wherever you shall be. Don’t act as one thing, but yet leave church and act as another. You should be true to what you believe in, inside or outside your home.
