My dear friend, Gerald Parker, recently sent me some photos to illustrate another example from our recent conversation.

Picture a person digging a hole –

God’s people are gifted to make kingdom impact through investing their gifts.  Yet often we can mistake filling a role in the church programs with all there is for them to be and do.  NO!  God’s people contain the resurrection power of the Spirit, live under the name above all names, Jesus, and have a kingdom mission from the Father.  The gifts God provides to the body are for so much more than church chores!
