| ¶
Unto the
angel of the church of
Ephesus
write;
These things saith he that
holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,
who
walketh in the
midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
|
For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
| ||
 |
So we,
being many,
are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
| |
|
Having then
gifts
differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
| |
|
Or ministry,
let us wait on our ministering:
or he that teacheth,
on teaching;
| |
|
Or he that exhorteth,
on exhortation:
he that giveth,
let him do it with simplicity;
he that ruleth,
with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy,
with cheerfulness.
| |
| ¶
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.

it was not until
i was willing to marry this girl
that God revealed to me
the "eternal" part of each Christian
this girl had the gift of exhortation
my gift of mercy emerged
i did not marry that girl
i married nina
i discerned
nina has the gift of giving
a friend has the gift of ruling
when we realize we are in these
"eternal" permanent relationships
God can really work in our lives
when you get close to another Christian
God gives revelation about this person
doug batchleor has the gift of "teaching"
he is one of the best Bible teachers
He is doing great things using the internet and satellite evangelism

do not go
at life alone
the body of Christ
is in place to help
