Upon reading the title of this book,
Church in Progress, I was reminded of chapter 29 of the Book
of Acts. The Book of Acts tells of the work of the Holy Spirit operating
through people (the Apostles); supernaturally enabling them with
unique gifts and abilities to build the kingdom of God throughout
the known world. I know that in the Bible there are only 28 chapters
to this book, but that is because the next chapter – chapter 29
– is presently being written. You and I are currently living in
chapter 29. In this new chapter, the Holy Spirit is still actively
at work, operating through people who not only recognize their unique
gifts, but also apply themselves to develop and learn other vital
skills outside their primary gifting in order to be better equipped
to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ. |
