  Do We Have Spiritual Gifts in the Church Today?
  

  Do We Have Spiritual Gifts in the Church Today? I've just completed a blog post which may be of interest to you on the subject of spiritual gifts. This is not your typical article and it is not for the faint of heart. So, if your faith is so fragile that it must be protected from the meat of God's word, then be sure to pour you a warm bowl of gospel milk.
  
  In this post, we examine the claims of miracle workers by comparing those claims with the word of God. A careful biblical analysis of the text along with sound reasoning and examples are given to support those conclusions. We also invite your comments to the contrary, with proof of course.
  
  Further, we ask why believers today are not fully participating in this process, but have relegated it to a few "special" faith-healers many of whom always have their hands out expecting to receive some silver and gold?
  
  Were miraculous gifts of healing, only for the apostles or a few preachers who could yell louder than the rest of us? Or, were they for the whole church? If so, why does the church as a whole neglect exercising them now?  We give you the answers.
  
  Did you know that the church in the New Testament did not need the Apostles to work miracles among them, but rather to impart to them the ability to do so themselves? We give you the exact Bible verses so you can read them yourself. In fact, without this power the church could not reach it's potential in the faith.
  
  What does that say of you as a minister if you have not given your congregation these powers? Why are you hoarding them if you claim to have them? Why are you the only healer and man of power wonders and works?  Be sure to check out, " Do We Have Spiritual Gifts in the Church Today?"

  In the meantime, join us on tomorrow for another segment in our study on the Son of Man, as we survey Daniel and writings from the New Testament.
