Thanks-Giving
How giving reflects our faith and the character of God
1 Corinthians 16:1-4
In only four short verses, one paragraph, the Apostle Paul helps the Corinthians
understand the basics of giving. In a later letter, which we call Second Corinthians, he
has to amplify that teaching and encourage them to fulfill their giving pledges, but
nothing is introduced there which is not foreshadowed here. Beautiful in its simplicity and
profundity, there is no more practical note on the discipline of giving than these words.
