Apples of Gold - November 17

As to tests to determine your spiritual gift, exercise caution. A Berean who seeks to know the Lord and to reflect His character does not need manmade methods to grow in Christlikeness. “Beloved…we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John:3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

"And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

—1 Corinthians:12:28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
