This week Tina and I venture to lead a Retreat for several Mission Teams. It's been interesting how the Lord has lead us in this venture. I will be teaching on the "Call to Serve" along with the Gifts of the Spirit. Tina will then pick up on how all of this should produce Fruit, Fruit of the Spirit. It's amazing how often we forget that the result of the gifts of the Spirit should be Fruit. No Fruit, No Holy Spirit. Paul is clear on this. These days seem to be filled with "do as you want to" and no regard for one's relationship with God or others. We live in a very self centered society here in the good ol US of A.
So if you just happened to stumbled on this, there are several questions that you need to ponder: 1) What are my gifts? 2) Am I using them? 3) Am I producing fruit? By the Grace and Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ you will be able to identify your gifts, use them and produce fruit that is worthy of the Kingdom of God.
Be Blessed to be a Blessing,
Fr. Joe
