TFL: "Principles in Giving, Parts A and B" *****
- We can make the bible say anything we want it to say, unless we study the bible in submission to its truth within its context
- The danger in dealing with the bible is the danger in going above the line by saying more than what is said or going below the line and saying less than what is said and the key is to stay on the line
- Paul is suggesting we will never give generously without discovering afresh God’s ability to supply our needs so that we may give generously again
- Stott: “By our giving we give expression to our theology, by example: when we contribute to evangelistic enterprises we are expressing our confidence that the gospel is the power of God to salvation and everybody needs to hear it.”
