A Revealing Checkbook...

Ron Blue on faking...
"You can't fake stewardship. Your checkbook reveals all you really believe
about stewardship…your goals, priorities, convictions, relationships, and even the use
of your time. A person who has been a Christian even for a short while can fake prayer, Bible study, evangelism, going to
church, and so on, but he can't fake what his checkbook reveals"
(Ron Blue, Master Your Money, 20)

The Macedonians gave way beyond what their means could support
(2 Cor. 8:1-3a)
"And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability."

The Macedonians gave of their own initiative (2 Cor. 8:3b-4)
""Entirely on their own, Entirely on their own, 44they urgently they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.in this service to the saints.""

They went beyond money by giving themselves to God and to meet
Paul's companions' needs (2 Cor. 8:5)
""And they did not do as we expected, but And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with Godthen to us in keeping with God''s will.s will.""

The Corinthians should also give money generously just as they had
fully given themselves in other areas (2 Cor. 8:6-7)
""So we urged Titus, since he had earlier So we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. completion this act of grace on your part. 77But just as you excel in everything—in But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.that you also excel in this grace of giving.""

II. Generosity replaces procrastination with
proportional and purposeful giving (2 Cor. 8:10-15).
![Page 28: How to Get Rich (2 Cor. 8:1-15)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a95c0c1a28abee4d8b484e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A. Like the Corinthians, we need follow-through—not
procrastination!
![Page 29: How to Get Rich (2 Cor. 8:1-15)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a95c0c1a28abee4d8b484e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The church at Corinth had promised a gift a year earlier and needed to
stop procrastinating on its promise (2 Cor. 8:10-11).
"And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. 11Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means."
![Page 30: How to Get Rich (2 Cor. 8:1-15)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a95c0c1a28abee4d8b484e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
God holds us accountable for promises we've made too.

B. Like the Corinthians, we need proportionally generous giving
(2 Cor. 8:12)
"For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have."
![Page 33: How to Get Rich (2 Cor. 8:1-15)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a95c0c1a28abee4d8b484e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Generosity is Relative
"God assesses the 'value' of a monetary gift not in terms of the actual amount given, but
by comparing what is given with the total financial resources of the giver"
(Harris, Expositors Bible Commentary, 10:369).
![Page 34: How to Get Rich (2 Cor. 8:1-15)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a95c0c1a28abee4d8b484e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
C. Like the Corinthians we need to purposely invest in the less fortunate (2 Cor. 8:13-15).
"Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, 15as it is written: 'He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.'"
