II Corinthians Chapter 8, More Money Concerns.
It's still pledge drive week in 2 Corinthians. Paul continues to
talk about money while the Corinthians consider listening to
another station for a chapter or two.     Paul tells
the Corinthians that he's been talking them up to the church in
Macedonia. He's already told everyone how faithful they are and
that they're ready to give with open hearts and open wallets.
Right, everyone?     But, just in case… he's sending
Titus and the other two guys ahead. He wants to make sure the
Corinthians are ready to give and aren't in a stingy mood.
    If Paul arrived in Corinth with the Macedonians
and it turned out the Corinthians didn't greet them with open
wallets, Paul "would be humiliated."     So Paul has
asked these three gents to go ahead and make sure that Corinth will
have their generous gift ready—just like they promised they would.
Hey, you did promise.     He'd also like the gift to
be voluntary. It's not like he's trying to extort them or
something. No, not at all.     Basically, Paul's
whole point is this: if you give, you get. It's as simple as that.
    But people have to make up their own minds. He
can't force them. Then they'd be grumpy. And remember, "God loves a
cheerful giver."     Trust Paul. God is going to
provide for those who provide for others.     Plus,
a commitment to share with other Christians also shows their love
for Christ and their devotion to the gospel. Paul believes we're
all in this together. Sharing is caring.
