Kingdom Giving

Mk.12:41-43 - And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

I have seen the disgraceful antics of these “Christian” network’s telethons. They hire charlatans to come in and tell people that if they give a “seed” then God will be their genie. They are liars and are using people for their own monetary gain.

But I also saw a secular report that said Bill Gates committed approximately 30 billion dollars to help the poor in Africa. That is commendable, but the reporter remarked that Gates was the greatest giver she knew.

I beg to differ. Here was a widow who gave all that she had with no promise of financial blessings to herself and with no fanfare. God’s economy and financial system is not of this world.
