STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THIS WEEK: Mark 12:44
“For
they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put
in everything she had, all she had to live on.” From Old Testament times right through to
today, the Lord has urged us to give to His work in the Church in proportion to
how He has blessed us. He has also
called us to sacrificial giving, that is, giving that actually costs us
something. That’s the shape of true
Christian generosity.
TBLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
