A More Excellent Way

But eagerly desire the greater gifts.  And now I will show you the most excellent way.  1 Cor. 12:31

God’s gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Much has been taught, much has been written, much has been preached on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  But, today, how are we doing in the Body of Christ with the gifts of the Spirit? 

Paul also talks about the body of Christ in this chapter being one and the various parts working together so that we would be one.  But, today, how are we doing in the Body of Christ with being one?

And then, Pual knowing the challenges of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and Oneness tells us a more excellent way of executing the desires of the Lord . . . He presents the opportunity and the challenge and then gives the way to make it all happen.  Thus he leads into the love chapter . . . for it is His love that is the basis and motive for the gifts of the Spirit.

Lord this day help me to walk in the love that you have ordained so that the power gifts and oneness may be a part of my life and those that I come into contact with. . .
