Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 13, 2007

Coins are made from precious metals and bare the image of authority. We are precious creations of God that bare His image. How should we be spent as Gods currency?

Spent for God This passage remains one of my all time favorites. I love it because Jesus took a simple thing like a coin and crushed his enemies who were trying to trap him. It is just beautiful in its power and simplicity. It is pure Jesus. Interesting Things about Coins. Coins represent a ...read more

Committed To Tenant Work
