Gifts of the Spirit

There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord; there are different works but the same God who accomplishes all of them in everyone. To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one the Spirit gives wisdom in discourse, to another the power to express knowledge. Through the Spirit one receives faith; by the same Spirit another is given the gift of healing, and still another miraculous powers. Prophecy is given to one; to another power to distinguish one spirit from another. One receives the gift of tongues, another that of interpreting the tongues. But it is one and the same Spirit
who produces all these gifts distributing them to each as he wills.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
May we all live the gifts that we have been given in humble service to God and others.

So it's been a while...

and now I am back!! 
A special thanks to Ben at Cleansing Fire for helping to get the fire started again!
He asked me to be a guest writer (you can read that post here), it's a little silly for me to post it here, but I will be adding more to my story over the next few days.

So stop by, read a while, make a comment or two. 
Hopefully I can educate, enlighten or just amuse you for a minute or two!!

Peace to All!!

    I agree, Ben. We need to build each other up for the sake of the kingdom and let go of little differences that we magnify so large until they divide us. "United we stand; divided we fall". Where have were heard that before.

    agreed, anon. And let us look to Holy Mother Church to tell us where there is legitimate room for debate and where there has been definitive teachings that must be followed.
