1 | "Speaking in tongues"? | 1 Cor 14:15 | Out of the miry clay | 145129 | ||
Service is emphasized by some churches, but when properly emphasized, those outside the church may not be aware of it because the members don't perform their acts of service "before men to be noticed by them" (Matthew 6:1, NASB). I was a member of one church in which it was the common practice for a dozen people to show up when someone in the congregation was moving to help with packing and loading the van or to bring food to help those doing the heavy work. This same congregation did not hire a janitor to clean the church building, but members of the congregation took turns vacuuming, mopping, cleaning the bathrooms, and so on. The church always looked very nice and people considered it a blessing to have the opportunity to clean it. The pastor and his team of leaders were also excellent administrators, but again, this does not attract much attention from those outside the church. This church taught that all of the gifts were important and beneficial when properly used. | ||||||

... all of the gifts were important and beneficial when properly used. True. When God gives a gift, He gives it for a purpose. Thanks for the reply. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
