I've been looking for some time in the Bible for the
types of spiritual gifts that God gave me. Here are a couple of the common
passages that people refer to when talking about spiritual gifts:
"Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are
different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different
results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each
person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all.
For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and
another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to
another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the
one Spirit, to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and
to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of
tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. It is one and the
same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all
these things." - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV
Now I've
looked and looked, but I have yet to be able to find Web development, logo
design, and such gifts that God has entrusted me with. While talking about
it with my good friend Bob, he suggested that I take on the mantra of
"Digital Scribe". Scribes, in Jesus' day, translated and copied the
message for others to see. My language is that of Web and Images. When it
comes to actual text, that's my wife's gift, so we're well matched.
Digital Scribe. I like that. Of course, in the modern vernacular, it's
more a Techno Design Geek. Either is fine with me. |
