Gifts are talents and responsibilities bestowed on us by God, and each has its own place in the life of the church--none is "better" or more important than any other; they're all key parts of the whole, just as the various parts of the human body work together. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:6-8&version=NIV 2009-08-13T11:50:36-05:00 We each have unique talents and gifts given to us by God, and we're called to use those gifts diligently in God's service, in the way that makes the most sense. Different Christians have wildly different interests and talents, but all should work together for the common cause of Christ.
