—Acts 6:1-6
by: Jasmine Lynch.
God has placed individuals in the church with gifts to build up the body of Christ. When church members refuse to utilize their gifts to serve in the church, the ministry is limited to what the pastor alone can do. Thank God that there are those, prompted by the Holy Spirit, who are bold and wise enough to recognize and train willing individuals to do ministry work. In Acts 6, once the solution to serving all the widows was determined, it pleased the whole multitude and the grumbling stopped (v.5). In your church, will you be part of the problem or part of the solution? Are you a worker or a grumbler?
