Compare For the kingdom of heaven is like a man
traveling to a far country, who called his own
servants and delivered his goods to them. And to
one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one, to each according to his own
ability and immediately he went on a
journey..(Mt 2514-15) Having then gifts
differing according to the grace that is given to
us, let us use them (Ro 126) Eph 411-16

Consult We are stewards. God has entrusted these
gifts to us that we might use them for the good
of His church. He even gives us the spiritual
ability to develop our gifts and be faithful
servants of the church. There are speaking gifts
and there are serving gifts, and both are
important to the church. Wiersbe, W. W. The
Bible exposition commentary.
