Question of the day ??

What are the gifts (or talents) that God has given you for ministry?

Discernment: I can pick up on heresy or otherwise wrong thinking pretty quickly.

Teaching: I'm a good Bible study leader.

Wounding: I've had so many failures and defeats in my life -- some of which I caused -- that I can minister to people in a way that the hypersuccessful cannot.

I believe mine to be service. I don't mind getting my hands dirty and doing real ministry with people.

Then comes pastoral care in a crisis situation.

Finally comes preaching. I may not be the best, but my preaching is simple (I'm a simple person) and from the heart. I also put a lot of time and effort into preparation. Of course that is every week but this week. I'm home sick and only have two days now to prepare a sermon. Some can do that, but it takes a whole lot of the Holy Spirit and a whole lot of Tums for me to do it that way.
