Let me just say that talents and abilities are things that we can either be born with or God can give us, however, these are things that we can do for God or we can do for ungodly purposes. Gifts on the other hand are things that we wouldn't naturally be able to do, but for some reason in the right setting (spiritual), it all comes together. But because of that reason, many people will often try to plug into to service in a church in an area they feel comfortable in, but might not have any gifting in...the result is they get frustrated and walk away...Does that sound like something you have done? When all you really needed to do is find a service that highlights the gifts that you have. Now spiritual gifts are given to all believers, not just pastors or lay leaders. And we are told in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 that every gift is important, and that we all need to use the gifts that we have to build the body of Christ, which is the church. There is no gift that is greater or less than any other gift. The important thing to remember is to do that gift in the spirit of love...So, what are your gifts? Do you know? Find out, ask your pastor and plug in!
