Thinking about Spiritual Gifts
It seems that Andy from “aBowden Blog” is thinking about spiritual gifts. He has recently written two posts on the subject: “Speaking and Serving” and “Romans 12, continued.”
I’m glad to see that more and more believers are considering ways of allowing more believers to speak and serve when the church meets.
This is one of the questions that I asked Andy: How would you like to see other speaking and serving gifts (besides the pastor preaching a sermon) exercised when the church gathers? What do you say?
Allow other gifted teachers to “preach a sermon”. I think Eric Carpenter’s move is very, very encouraging. Not to mention a time of testimonials and personal sharing. For example the teacher not answering the question (if questions are allowed) but deflecting it to others who may not have the same platform but may be gifted in exhortation. Thats one way for me.
