[:en]Thoughts from Mark 12[:]

[:en]Taxes:  “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” (v. 17) –  Let us follow God’s instruction on our obligation to our country.

The Greatest Command:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  The second is:  Love your neighbor as yourself” (vs. 30-31) – Let us try our best to obey His greatest command.

The Widows Offering:  This poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.  They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything – all she had to live on” (v. 43-44)  – Our Lord sees our heart when we give.[:]
