    Apparently the false teachers in Corinth were suggesting that Paul’s unwillingness to accept support from the church was simply a coverup. They thought that he really had a love for money, and the offering he claimed to be taking for the suffering saints

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: H. L. Gee somewhere tells of a tramp who came begging to a good woman’s door. She went to get something to give him and found that she had no change in the house.

    Some keep God at a convenient distance. Calling on Him only when they want something in return or they need Him to pull them out of trouble. Israel was good at this and it’s the reason why they and we too find ourselves in the mess we’re in!

Pastor I’ll call them back.." Within a few minutes though, it rang again and I said, ...read more
