19 Gifts of the Spirit

Although a concise expose on biblical gifts; the writer has missed the essence of Spiritual Gifts. To say an unregenerate soul has only 'common talent' is to say Jesus walked in the flesh prior to His baptism by John. God knows the spirit of every person prior to formation in their mother's womb and He endues them with 'redemptive gifts' that are spiritual, prior to birth into this world. Example: a singer is 'gifted' with excellent hearing to discern pitch and is therefore able to reproduce with their voice. Not all people can do this; because it is a 'gift'. What one does with their gift(s) throughout life is predicated by their calling and selection by God and how they respond. If they are IN Him, they use their gifts to glorify Him. If not; themselves. This is the source of evil gifts such as witchcraft. This is no doubt an intellectual writing...

A very balanced and grounded approach to the gifts. I especially appreciate the insight that we may not recognize all of our gifts until we exercise some of them. Some people teachthat our gifts change with time; this shows that it is our use of our existing gifts is what changes. We will grow and mature into what God would have us become.

Its one of the greatest information and teaching of the Gifts . I loved reading this book . Thank you .
