Differences of Administrations and Diversities of Operations
Paul discusses the importance of recognizing the diverse ways in which individuals serve in different callings within the Church. Each person has their own unique style and abilities, and the Lord honors and accepts their service, even if it differs from others.
Insecurity and Spiritual Gifts
Paul emphasizes the significance of spiritual gifts and encourages individuals to cultivate, use, and expand their spiritual gifts. He highlights that every member of the Church possesses at least one spiritual gift, and that these gifts are given by the Spirit of God for the benefit of all.
Knowledge and Wisdom
Paul distinguishes between the gifts of knowledge and wisdom. The gift of knowledge helps individuals discern between the source of teachings and influences, recognizing whether they are from God or from other sources. The gift of wisdom, on the other hand, involves using knowledge and understanding to make wise choices and decisions in one's actions and behaviors.
Recognizing Truth and Acting Wisely
Paul highlights the importance of discerning truth and using wisdom in decision-making. He encourages individuals to seek knowledge and understanding through the Spirit, and to rely on sources that speak truth. Wisdom involves not only knowing information, but also applying it appropriately in one's actions and behaviors.
Are we sensitive to others’ challenges within our congregations? Dr. Mary Jane Woodger examines Paul’s letter to the Corinthians and their difficulties with intellectualism being inappropriate immorality, indiscretion, and insecurity.
