—2 Corinthians 9:10-15
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
Fund-raising letters seem to come to my mailbox everyday. Each one of them tries to convince me to send money for some great cause. A few of the letters are worth reading. However, most of them could be called high-pressure and guilt-inducing. The authors seem to think that they have to induce me to give my money to their cause.
Paul approached the issue of generosity differently. He reminded the people of Corinth that God supplies everything we have. He appealed instead to their relationship with the Father. Our God is generous beyond compare. Is the same thing said of his people?
