There are gifts that cannot manifest unless we’re in community.
Gifts of the Spirit
Dan McCollam

What if church is supposed to be less like a lecture hall and more like a spiritual gymnasium where we come and workout the spiritual faith and muscle required to do the works of Him who sent us?
Sadhu Sundar Singh
Prayer is both the air we breathe and the mother’s milk of the soul. Without prayer it is impossible to receive supernatural gifts from God.
Kris Vallotton
It is easy for us to look at people who seem to have “more talents” than we do and become jealous. We think we want what they have. Little do we know that we have what we have right now because it is what we can be safely entrusted with. If we had more, the more would destroy us instead of bless us. God is not looking for talent; He is looking for faithfulness. This is the key to growth and maturity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends.
