Bible Note: God's day to you, Steve, 1 Corinthians 12 is my may thrust ... verses 11 and 18 shows me God choses our gifts and to be preacher, when one doesn't has the gift usurps God and His choice. Also, the same is true if we have a gift and don't use it. "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills" (1 Cor 12:11). "But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired" (1 Cor 12:18). It was why we need to know our spiritual gift(s) and then use them. I think it should be part of Christianity 101. Searcher |
