    Understanding Spiritual Gifts and how we trust and need the giver of the gift,The Holy Spirit has given you something that you are to give to everyone else.

I sit in church and I listen to the message, sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I find it boring. I love to hear of the miracles that Jesus did and I love to hear about ...read more
