Spirit-Given Gifts

Spiritual gifts are not personality labels, spiritual status symbols, or excuses for pride, disorder, self-promotion, or performance. They are gifts of grace, given by the Holy Spirit, governed by the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and intended for the strengthening of the body of Christ.

Spirit-Given Gifts walks through the major New Testament passages on spiritual gifts — First Corinthians 12–14, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and First Peter 4 — with plain speech, full KJV Scripture, and a steady call back to humility, order, service, and the glory of Christ.

The book addresses the gift as stewardship rather than trophy, the body as designed by God rather than ranked by men, the central place of love in all ministry, the specific gifts and how they are meant to operate, the dangers of pride and disorder, the damage comparison does to a congregation, and what it means to develop and exercise a gift under authority until the Lord returns. Each chapter closes with a word to the reader, a prayer, and review questions for personal reflection or group discussion.

Written for every believer who has wondered whether God has a place for them in the body — and for every leader who needs to be reminded that the quiet gifts are necessary, and that Christ is the Head.

“The gift came from God. The strength comes from God. The fruit belongs to God. The glory returns to God.”
