NASB | 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now about the spiritual gifts [the special endowments given by the Holy Spirit], brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. |
Bible Question: How would you suggest that we turn that around? Why is it the gifts are not flowing in the church? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Asis! I believe that there are a number of reasons why the gifts are not being used in churches today (as a whole). 1) We are quenching the Spirit. 2) We are afraid because of excesses. 3) We need more sound Bible study concerning the gifts since much of what is practiced today is not Biblical. 4) And, I think that some of it is a lack of faith. It is hard to step out in faith. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
