2 Corinthians 9 Is it wrong to proclaim that giving will lead to blessing?

The problem with false teaching is that some aspects of it have truth, which then can be used improperly. It is true that God knows about our generosity and can reward believers for their faithfulness. Sometimes this is overemphasized and used as a manipulation tactic to prompt people to be generous with a (their) specific ministry. I think it is relevant to teach the whole counsel of God’s Word including this passage but I would be wary to respond to a teacher who seems to use this in an overly persuasive, pressurized manner to compel people to give to them.

What is Revering the Word?

Biblical Teaching from Pastor Jay Cavaiani with an emphasis on revering the Word of God.

This podcast teaches through every chapter of the Bible, one chapter a day.

To learn more go to www.reveringtheword.com. There is three year Bible reading challenge and schedule available on the website. We encourage all to join the journey by reading through the Bible over the course of three years.

We teach studying the Bible more thoroughly by slowing down and taking in the Bible in a deeper manner versus reading many chapters at once and glossing over what one is reading.

Pastor Jay Cavaiani is the Lead Pastor at Crossing Community Church in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, USA.
