Tim Keller | February 7, 2000
No one person has all the spiritual gifts. Some have the gift of speaking truth, some have the gift of loving others, and others have a gift for organization. It is only when people with diverse gifts come together that the church will best minister to those in need. Yet – as important as spiritual gifts are – developing Christian character must take precedence. If we are mainly concerned with Christian character but think little about gifts, then Christians will be effective in ministry. But if Christians think a great deal about gifts but little about character, they will bear very little genuine fruit.
