A Blueprint for Giving
Commentators agree that Paul provides a clear model for Christian giving. It should be: 1) Regular (done weekly on the Lord's Day), 2) Universal (a duty for every believer, not just the wealthy), and 3) Proportionate (given in accordance with how God has blessed each person). This establishes a habit of principled generosity, not just emotional, one-time giving.
