You may hear preachers applaud this poor widow for giving her last peso to the church, but it does not say that. <\/p>\n\n\n
The Widow\u2019s Mite
Mark 12:41 And He (Jesus) sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. 42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. 43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, \u201cTruly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, [z]all she had to live on.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
Yahweh praised someone who was honoring her devotion of God as Father and Supplier. This particular temple was the most corrupt in history.\u00a0 This same group of leaders crucified Jesus. It can hardly be called worthy of service and finances.<\/span><\/p>\n But in actual practice the giving of money to the church is an indication of your heart towards God.\u00a0 You are not required to give money to an actual building and group of leaders. The scripture says simply to give money to the storehouse, a place of provision for whatever the church needs.<\/p>\n
