Acts of charity!
I think you're sooo right about this. If you see a brother in need and have the means to help him yet send him away, that's not love.
So I think a lot of people who have devoted themselves to charitable causes, etc. have a "divine" ministry as well and they are storing up treasures in heaven, as much as those who out of their heart try to preach to persons to help them.
Thanks for recognizing that charity is certainly a big part of Jesus' ministry.
Everybody has their own "gifts" and I think we will be judged based upon what is happening individually. And some people have great need for charity and that's their gift. And I think it is going to be rewarded just like teaching persons God's word of truth.
Only problem with witnesses now, though, good intentions aside, they don't have much truth to teach. They can't ask any questions. They've got wrong dating. It's just sad.
All these signs show we are so very near the end. Charity is a good virtue, and it makes up for a lot of our shortcomings elsewhere.
Cheers,
