Daily Nugget: There is nothing we do that heaven does not know about. In verses 1-4 (Also in Mark 12:41-44), this is illustrated by Jesus’ observation of people giving at a temple.

Daily Nugget: There is nothing we do that heaven does not know about. In Mark 12, verses 41-44, this is illustrated by Jesus’ observance of people giving at a temple. Jesus was standing by the temple treasury and was watching those putting in their money to help meet the needs of the synagogue. From what [...]
Mark 2
Daily Nugget: Jesus always attracted a crowd. Most of the people wanted something from Him for themselves. In this chapter (vss 1-12), we see four that were more concerned about their friend’s need than they were of their own. I am sure that these men had other things they could have been doing. Somehow they [...]
Matthew 17
Daily Nugget: 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. One of the biggest [...]
I Timothy 6
Daily Nugget: Despite popular opinion, having wealth is not the way to happiness. Also, despite some “religious” teachers, God does not necessarily want everyone rich.

Perhaps because the government passes out so much of other people’s money to them, they expect the church to do the same thing. Although many [...]
II Corinthians 9
Daily Nugget: The Corinthian church at first had to be rebuked for their spiritual immaturity and sin in their ranks. Apparently, they dealt with the challenges, and the church was growing spiritually. Now, instead of needing more attention, they were able to help others. Paul was now sending brethren to their church (vs. 3) and [...]
II Corinthians 8
Daily Nugget: Paul boasted of the giving of the churches of Macedonia (vs. 1). They were a poor people, but they gave liberally (vs. 2). One of the reasons they gave to Paul and the ministry was that they first gave themselves to the Lord (vs. 5). The key to their generous giving was that [...]
Romans 12
Daily Nugget: God has plans for each and every Christian. To better equip each child of God, each is given a gift to better serve the Saviour. Some may have more than one gift. These gifts are not the gifts the early church had before they were given the entire Word of God. These seven [...]
