2 Corinthians 8:20; No Man Should Blame Us
2 Corinthians 8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
The Apostle Paul ensured that there was a group of two or three and even more men assigned to oversee the collection and to the safe delivery of it to the church in Jerusalem. He was careful and cautious to prevent any potential mishandling. He understood the gravity of the matter for God’s glory.
The early church father, Ignatius, upon hearing a clock strike, used to say “Now I have one hour more to answer for.” He was acutely aware that he was accountable to God for every thought and action. It causes him to have this heightened sensitivity that his life brings honour and glory to God’s Name.
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
