Bible Note: Greetings Searcher! Well, my thoughts on this issue are definitely a work in progress. I first started thinking about it while administering spiritual gifts inventories. I began to notice that the inventories didn't really measure spiritual gifts as much as talents and interests (in my opinion)! To give my opinion concerning your 'process' question, I would say that the process is ongoing in both the individual and the church. Whichever view one adopts (giving or given), we certainly need God's gifts! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
