Power and Mite! (David Gore - Mark 12:38-44)

We hope that true leadership issues in profound service to the community who are being led. This seems to be very tricky for us in practice. We so easily get ensnared in the web of personal identity needs and the desires of others. Good intent can be twisted into damaging outcomes - and the church knows this very well. Jesus’ comments of observation and warning in these two stories (the scribes and the widow) cut to the core of our compromised perceptions of religion.
