According to St. Paul, the Holy Spirit gives every follower of Christ at least one spiritual gift.  Am I using my gift?  Are you using your gift?  These God given abilities are bestowed so that the church can function effectively and grow strong.  We are to use our gifts; whether teaching, encouraging, or helping others; all in the service to Christ.  When we do not, His church suffers, its ministry is incomplete, and its outreach and effectiveness are crippled.  In Christ you are gifted.  So use your gift for Him.

“Lord, thank you for the grace of Your gifts.”

             A church can become a graveyard if its members bury their gifts.
