The Corinthians had been asked to contribute to needy saints. They had not responded in a godly manner, even postponing their contribution. The answer is found in the text referenced at the beginning of this section. The impact of such a reception upon society would be staggering. Fund raising is a serious part of nearly every major Christian work.
Some religious institutions have entire departments devoted to raising funds.
In a way, all of this is a gigantic contradiction. Father, in the name of Jesus, teach and strengthen Your people to trust Your promises.
