    Having provided instruction for establishing an order of widows, Paul proscribes enrolling younger widows and justifies his position.

    “Refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and ...read more

    The woman with the alabaster jar and the widow’s two copper coins show us that sacrificial giver is not determined by much we give, but by a grateful heart.

Thus our text begins. Here the widow woman is used by Christ to illustrate the kind of Christian that ...read more
