Christian By Choice

My top spiritual gifts are sarcasm, inappropriate humor, cynicism, inability to suffer legalists, and impatience.

I'm amazed! Who would've thought? Me--shy, demure, gentle, and humble little me?

Then I took the test again and came out with Hospitality, Exhortation, Encouragement, Writing, Faith.

Ken . . . LOVE your first paragraph.

Mine are Poverty (that once been forced on me, actually ;0)), Helping, and Music

Not a surprise at all from me, Ken, particularly writing and exhortation. My only question to you is what time may I arrive for dinner? I see cook is not on this list, yet hospitality is.

Did you find this test to be right on or curious?

EOG, I do have to test, and I hope to do so today.

Yep, on understanding the poverty gift.

Helping and music reminds me of Nancy's gifts too. Care to share how your gifts are used and displayed?

Ties First place, Poverty, discernment.

Second Place, Prophecy.

Ties Third place, Teaching, writing, evangelism, encouragement and pastoring.

One big surprise for me was that intercession was no longer in a top 3 rank.

Mine are Poverty, Faith, Healing and Intercession.

Faith, Helps, Mercy, Discernment and Exhortation (I had to look this one up).

I guess I never really thought about these in terms of them being gifts, but the results of the test make sense to me. I really dislike speaking publicly. But when I am in the position to I always say a little prayer first and nearly every time someone will let me know that I touched them or said what they needed to hear. My avocation includes guiding people through a spiritual program of self improvement.

Thanks, Editor. I appreciate being prodded to look deeper.
