2 Cor 8:7 says, “But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” Winning that trophy, earning that gold medal, or receiving those 5 stars requires excellence. Paul sees excellence in the lives of the Macedonians, but he still reminds them to excel in giving. Paul’s reminder is a good reminder to us, as well. Let’s be a church that excels in giving.
