Key Point 1: Evaluating one's service to the Lord

An average believer must consider their obligations in various areas of life, including providing for oneself and one's family, spending time with family, and being faithful in relationships. Additionally, making oneself fruitful to the body of Christ, often through the local church, is essential. Rather than obsessing over specific spiritual gifts, the focus should be on giving what one has and being involved in serving the kingdom in any capacity. As Christians gain more clarity about their unique interests and capabilities, they can specialize and contribute more effectively.
