I get a lot of questions from people in my church about spiritual gifts. I’m glad. It’s an important topic!

Think about the Gift Giver
It is an important topic because they are actual gifts from God. You can offend someone quickly simply by ignoring their gifts. We show our love and appreciation to someone when we gladly accept their gifts. Our study of spiritual gifts is a time of unwrapping the gifts we have been given by God. Show your love and appreciation for Him by unwrapping thoroughly, eagerly, and thoughtfully. And when you have made it through the wrapping paper and are looking at the actual gifts, don’t forget about the Giver. Use the gifts as He intends for you to use them.

So, let’s study what the Bible says. Click here to look with me at the Apostle Paul’s quick introduction to the topic.

The Beginner’s Guide to the Gift of Prophecy is a 150 page book by Jack Deere instructing modern Christians how to use the gift of prophecy. I cannot give a favorable to book, because I believe Scripture teaches the gift of prophecy was energized by God in the early stage of the church. Ephesians 2:20 is sufficient to support this conclusion. In that passage Paul says the foundation of the church is made up of the apostles and prophets. This review is an opportunity for me to interact some with the view of the continuationist.

Deere believes the gift of prophecy is energized by God in the church today. He writes to tell people how to use the gift.
