Lesson of the Widows Mite and the Widows Mite Coin

Image
  Luke 21: 1 - 4 (Bible Gateway) KJV . 21  And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. The rich might have given more but she gave all she had. Per the scripture above, it had more value to God since it was a greater sacrifice for her to give. It is not the value of what is given but the value of the sacrifice.  Lesson of the Widows Mite - Wikipedia .  Here is an interesting view of the widows mite. Parallel Bible .  Luke 21:1 , Luke 21: 2 , Luke 21:3 , Luke 21:4 .  The above are links to different versions of the Bible for these verses so one can compare them.  Here are some of the coins of the Bible.

  Replica Bible Coins? I did an online search for Bible coins or coins that might have been used during Biblical times. I came across a few sites that had replicas of those coins.

There are links so one can buy / purchase the coins by clicking on the photo of the coin. I think the price of the replicas might be a little high but too expensive (depending on what one considers expensive). They have a broader site of the replica Bible coins by Coin Replicas .  Amazon - This link is for one coin. I think it is neat that it is made in Israel; the land of the Bible. I

Christian Book Distributors?

 I have found a great site for Christian books and supplies and other things. It is Christian Book Distributors . It is not just Bibles but other resources like Christian books and other materials related to it.  I have found it to be a great resource for Bibles . They have a whole bunch of different translations. I prefer the King James Version and the New King James Version .  It is a short blog but I just wanted to post about this site. I think it is a great site for Christians and for churches; IMO (in my opinion).  TomLeeM 2023 / 09 / 13 My idea for a new(er) Christian flag.
