Spiritual Gifts

Jul 31–Aug 1, 2008 - comment

He is the third member of the Godhead. He is given to us at the moment of salvation. He is known as the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Comforter, the one who comes along side us for aid. And yet, so many of us do not know or fully understand His role in the life of the believer and in the work of the Church.

Today’s guest on For Faith and Family is Dr. Henry Blackaby, noted Bible teacher and author. He has written, with his son, Mel, a powerful little book about the work of the Holy Spirit titled, What’s So Spiritual About Your Gifts?, with a companion workbook by the same title. He joins us today to talk about the often-discussed, but often-misunderstood topic of spiritual gifts.

Henry says of his book, “This book is not an exhaustive study on the Holy Spirit, but it will reorient your thinking to biblical teaching on the Spirit’s role in your life, clarify the apparent confusion between natural talents and spiritual gifts, and help you get in step with God’s purpose. It will guide you practically as you seek to better understand the Spirit’s assignment and to experience God’s great salvation in every area of your life.” (dedication, p 12)
