ok, our pastor has been preaching on the body of Christ lately. some good stuff that i never heard during my "fundy" childhood.
for example, (and maybe some of you don't know this :-), but there will be more than just baptists in heaven. it was nearly surreal hearing that taught from the pulpit.
last week, he taught an easy way to discover your spiritual gifts. ask yourself the following two questions:
what's in your heart? (God-given passion)
+
what's in your hands? (God-given abilities) God asked moses this ? at the burning bush.
=
spiritual gift
spitiual gifts aren't limited to the few mentioned in the Bible. they are examples. which makes more sense. God is too creative and multi-faceted to hand out the same couple gifts to everyone within the body of Christ. woo-hoo - that means i have a gift and so does everyone else.
now i must place it in God's hands and let him use it.

hmmm interesting. i would say everyone gets one of those listed 11 (i believe there are 11) gifts mentioned in the Bible. i'd like to hear that message and study this out sometime.
so what do you think your gift(s) are.

to answer you ? rc, my passion is music and theater. both passions are gifts God placed in my hand to use to further His gospel. thanks for hopping on.
