Verse of the Day:  Romans 12:6-8    

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Faith in Action: It is your responsibility to identify the gifts God has given you. You can find spiritual gift surveys online to point you in the right direction. Then, figure out a way to use them for God’s purpose.
