#Paul addressed possible apprehensions and reservations which might exist among the Corinthian #Christians regarding #giving.
They might worry about giving to others while they are in the midst of some affliction at the moment or perhaps in the face of affliction to come.

The Skeptic's Kaddish 🇮🇱Not a bit, or: Spent
I once kept them like loose change—like having a buck to give;
then, I gave my last one away
bad luck—I hadn't noticed;
someone starts complaining—I reach—
my pockets turn out—sucked dry
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

In the midst of his #exhortations to the Corinthian #Christians, #Paul set forth the #theological and #Christological basis for #giving.
We do well to remember how "grace" can mean "gift".
The grace, or gift, of God in Christ involved Jesus giving up His great wealth in order to become poor so all who might trust in Him may obtain the wealth of eternal life and the blessings which come from God.

Steam & Epic Games | Daily✊ Fans of Star Wars Outlaws are NOT GIVING UP, despite cancellation whispers a chunk of the community kicked off a debate on Reddit and is pushing a petition to nudge the publisher. They know petitions rarely flip decisions, but the noise proves the game left a mark.
Players praise the criminal-galaxy vibe, detailed locations, speeder rides, the reputation system and the Sabacc card minigame. Reasons for weak sales go beyond bug...

We must remember how our #interpretive frameworks are exactly that, interpretive frameworks, and are not themselves absolute or inspired.
We can use them profitably when they are profitable, but also do well to confess their limitations and weaknesses.
We should not insist on them where they are limited and weak, and do best when we pursue the heart and purposes of God in Christ through the Spirit in matters like #giving and #benevolence.
