Gifts of Grace
In ministry, our “gifts” are called gifts because a Giver gives them to us. That Giver is God. God has given us gifts based on His grace, not gifts that we have earned, but gifts that we can receive and operate in through reliance upon God’s goodness
Because these gifts are not of us, but rather gifts that have come from the Father:
- We have no basis for promoting ourselves
- We should complement one another without feelings of envy or jealousy
- We should look to God for how He wants His gifts to be used
- We should rely upon God for the power and wisdom to administrate His gifts

"Choosing Your Associations"
Advanced Leadership Training
Romans 12:16 “...associate with the humble.”
Association is Your Choice
It is your choice with whom you associate with. When you choose a ministry to associate with, you show yourself to share similar values, beliefs and vision. No one should be an island all to himself. The kingdom of God is about a body working together, giving Jesus Christ the glory for all that is accomplished in His name. We don’t need any lone rangers that separate themselves from the body so that they can take credit for the work they do.
