1 | Valid 'gifts?' | Eph 4:11 | charis | 1543 | ||
Are these 'gifts' valid ministries valid in the church today? If not, specify what invalidates them (it)? Please try to use scripture, not tradition. | ||||||
2 | Valid 'gifts?' | Eph 4:11 | Shelly | 144187 | ||
I believe they are still valid today - we see them in our own church here; I think they should be evident in all (growing) churches. NIV Study Bible notes says: Eph 4:11, 12 Our oneness in Christ does not destroy our individuality. The Holy Spirit has given each Christian special gifts for building up the church. Now that we have these gifts, it is crucial to use them. Are you spiritually mature, exercising the gifts God has given you? If you know what your gifts are, look for opportunities to serve. If you don't know, ask God to show you, perhaps with the help of your minister or Christian friends. Then, as you begin to recognize your special area of service, use your gifts to strengthen and encourage the church. |
