The Daily Discipleship Podcast
Each installment of Daily Discipleship is taught by Dr. Jim Culbertson, president of New England Bible College and Seminary and global ambassador for Concentric Global Disciplemaking. This podcast is meant to help people to learn and to live as followers of Jesus and help others do the same. From simple explanation of the Bible verse-by-verse to honest commentary on contemporary issues, Daily Discipleship will provide clarity on the meaning of God’s Word, the Bible, and how it applies to daily life. 1 John 2:6 says, ”Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.” We don’t claim to be perfect - we need Jesus everyday - and we don’t claim to have all the answers - God and His ways are much too vast for that!

God has given to each of us Spiritual Gifts. These gifts are not intended for our personal pride and pleasure. They are given to us for the expansion of Christ's Kingdom and the building up of the Body of Christ. What are your gifts? Are you seeking to serve Christ's Kingdom with them?

God has given us a calling, a commission, and He has given us all we need through giftings to fulfill those. He has also given us an operating system we are to operate within in fulfilling our calling: LOVE.

We are called to live in and love out the Love of God. Sometimes we settle for disputes on lesser things rather than seeking to live out the love of God for those around us, particularly those in the Body of Christ who may not see things the same way we do. What are we to do? Live in Love.

It is the best practice to use the gifts God has given us in an orderly fashion for the building up of those around us, not for personal prestige. We are to use our spiritual gifts in a way that is good for others and builds up the church.

Some of the spiritual gifts could appear to have more splash to them, draw more attention, and even seem more "spiritual", but all spiritual gifts count. Paul gives instructions about how those more "spiritual" appearing gifts should be used in gatherings of the church. There should be a certainly orderliness to worship.

Paul gives some pretty specific instructions about the use of language gifts (prophecy/preaching, tongues, interpretation). Are these guidelines followed among Pentecostal churches today? They should be. In the final analysis, we want believers and non-believers alike to have the experience wherein they conclude, "God is in their midst." May our worship be such that that is the conclusion of all in attendance.
