Résumé : |
A guide to help the individual Christian discover, develop and exercise his spiritual gifts in the Body of Christ, the Church ...
Our churches have hardly begun to tap the potential in the pews. Many Christians have settled tor far less than God intends because many have never discovered or developed their spiritual gifts. “An understanding of Ephesians 4:11-16 has changed my entire perspective on my Christian service. I discovered that one of my highest priorities must be equipping the saints for their work of service. Pursuing this objective I have made a second discovery. Exceedingly few believers are conscious of possessing a spiritual gift, and even fewer know what their gift is or what to do about it. My third discovery is that few things can be of greater assistance to a Christian in setting his priorities or discerning the will of God than knowing his own gift. These are the discoveries that have motivated me to prepare this book,” says the author. |
