Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast. This week, host Lance Smith navigates the often-debated topic of whether the Bible sends mixed signals about letting our good deeds be seen by others. Are there contradictions, or is there a deeper consistency that ties these messages together?

Join us as we explore key scriptures like Matthew 5:16 and 1 Peter 2:12, which encourage believers to let their actions shine, compared to warnings in Matthew 6:1 and Matthew 23 about performing deeds for show. We'll delve into the heart of the matter, examining how intention and motivation play a crucial role in interpreting these passages.

This episode is packed with insights, exploring the balance between visibility and humility in living out our faith authentically. Tune in to uncover whether these biblical teachings are at odds or beautifully aligned in their guidance.
