Ep. 93: The widow’s offering

CLICK HERE for the corresponding blog post in Yeshua Explored

MARK 12:41-44, LUKE 21:1-4

The poor widow gave out of her poverty, while the rich gave out of their wealth. In her case there was real sacrifice in her giving, she would personally suffer the material consequences. In other cases, there is no sacrifice, despite any ostentatious flourish accompanying the ‘giving’.

Most giving these days is of the second kind I suspect. Giving without sacrifice. Do I help this ministry or do we go away this weekend to Paris? The Body of Christ needs money flowing to fully function, yet there are often bottlenecks created by the ‘holding back’ of funds. I have witnessed this many times, sadly. It is a symptom, I believe, of our materialistic society. Is God prompting you to go against the flow today?
