Bible Note: Hi Tim! (Yes, I still lurk every great once in a while - I had to think a moment to remember how to post!) And once again, I find your posts sound, and refreshing! Of course no one will ever present a verse showing that spiritual gifts have ceased. We can only find verses that speak of believers having them. I wonder, though, that its not the gifts that have ceased, rather, that it may be the faith, commitment, and submission that have ceased. And how many of us have spiritual gifts, and think these things are our own abilities and talents? How many of us have spiritual gifts, and have never had the faith, or willingness to use them? Paul wrote to Timothy to awaken his gift. Are there any to whom this may apply today? God bless you my friend! Love in Christ, Mark |
