I can hear you already asking, “Doing things in secret? Have we not been taught not to do things in secret? Why are you encouraging people to do things in secret?”
There are three things we are to do in secret:
First of all we are told to do our giving in secret. Please read Matthew 6:4 in the Authorized (King James) Version.
Secondly we are told to do our praying in secret. Matthew 6:6.
And thirdly we are told to do our fasting in secret. Matthew 6:18.
“The best definition of the two that I have encountered is this: ‘Grace is especially associated with men in their sin: mercy is especially associated with men in their misery’…while grace looks down upon sin as a whole, mercy looks especially upon the miserable consequences of sin.” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and still say that there is no God.” – A. Lincoln
