Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul does not give us a listing of the gifts that is exhaustive. His list is only suggestive. Every time he writes of the gifts he mentions new ones. He is not dealing with a fixed number because he knows the Holy Spirit well enough to know that you cannot catch him in a list and limit him.

He chose Patrick Henry as his ideal. It was not long before the subject of Patrick Henry was becoming obnoxious to those ...read more
