Should You Question God?

SHOULD I QUESTION GOD?  This, in my opinion is two fold.  There is first the practical questions and then the matters of the heart.  First, we have a greater Word with us.  That word is the Bible.  According to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, the Bible helps answer our questions.  All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.

What Are My Spiritual Gifts? (And How Do I Find Them?)

 Have you ever had that feeling of something lacking in your life?  Do you ever feel stuck, knowing that you can be doing more than you are?  YEAH ....Me too!  That feeling could be coming from the fact that we are not operating in purpose.  Purpose is that thing we are supposed to be doing that brings glory to God and benefits others.  So, you may ask...What does purpose look like?  GOOD QUESTION! It looks like you are operating in your faith and in your spiritual gifts.  I'm guessing your next question would be "What are my spiritual gifts?" And before you hit me with that "I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE," let me share this.  EVERY CHILD OF GOD HAS A SPIRITUAL GIFT!  Let me show you in the word of God.  James 1: 17 states Every good and perfect gift is from above You can also see a list of some of the gifts within the church in 1 Corinthians 12: 28-30.  So, let's tackle how you can find your spiritual gifts.  ...
