One of the resolutions I made coming back from my time at a church planters’ round table in New York (#6 on my “personal challenge” list) was to re-ignite the gifts of the Spirit in my life and ministry.
Many of those at the round table had come from charismatic backgrounds, and a common thread that weaved its way through many conversations was a two-fold truth:
- The gifts of the Spirit are absolutely vital for the ongoing mission of the church.
- We have no idea what that is supposed to look like in our new contexts.
