Tomorrow night, we will talk about the gifts of the Spirit, and how he wants us to use it for the common good of all. But even now, I see God's gifts emerge from our little spiritual community. First, several have been added over the summer, and now we are scratching our head and wondering where we can get more chairs. But for every person that comes, another gift is added to the body of Christ.
One of our members has a passion for men's ministry.
Three other members are very philosophical and good at asking the tough theological questions.
one takes the temperature of the "visitors" and has a good feel for what is hospitable and inhospitable (for example: it is bad to ask a visitor to tell their life story in front of all 25 of us).
We have people who just like to help. They can adapt to several different things, but they love to fill the gap when there is a need in the community.
Another guy is a get-er-done kind of guy. He organizes, plans, and executes (projects, not people).
Two ladies in our group are concerned about children across the world, and are putting on a fundraiser to reach them.
And the list goes on. But it is an incredible list, a list latent with great kingdom potential. I can't wait to see what incredible things God will do.
