Maybe we have more Baal worshipers than we know

Scripture: Matthew 23:23-24
The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.
Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 5:3
We need to place our treasure in heaven through giving to the poor and tithing to the church rather than fall into greed (excessive spending) and worry (excessive saving).
[Clip from short film, Gone Nutty, from Ice Age.

Both of which lead to the same problem, storing up for ourselves treasure on earth, ...read more

The meek are those who have gone through "brokenness" (Poor in Spirit), mourned their sinful condition (that which led to brokenness) and now they submit to Christ (meek).

"Out of the Mouth of Christians", is a study on those things that we do that sure do not meet up with the will of and the Word of God and often make incredibly poor impressions on the unsaved.
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
