55 Takes a very practical approach to the Bible. Gets frustrated with people who spend a lot of time speculating and arguing about controversial issues of doctrine (theology). Tends to be a free spirit. Easily frustrated with board and committee work. Tends to be motivated by the emotions. Zealous about fulfilling the Great Commission. Leading others to Christ comes natural. Excited about outreach and often frustrated with “maintenance” work. Tends to be friendly and outgoing. Goes where unbelievers are in order to share the GOOD NEWS with them. Experiences results in witnessing. It is common for people to come to Christ as a result of his witness.

55 The Giftedness of Others—Questions for Reflection It is clear from I Corinthians 12:14-26 that each member of the body needs every other member. That, to take it a bit further, even those members with what appear to be self-sufficient gifts have needs that can only be met by others in the body. It is easy to think that persons with the gift of apostleship or of prophecy, as well as those of pastor, evangelist or teacher, are independent. They’re so capable, they have no need. Paul warns those with those gifts not to think of themselves as independent; it is equally important that we not ascribe to them a false superiority. For each gift, therefore, look for answers to one or more of the following questions. What shortcomings typically accompany this gift? What unique needs for reassurance and encouragement is a person with this gift likely to experience? What are the probable or possible areas of pain or struggle for a person with this gift? In our humanness, to be thrust into a role, even though gifted for it, brings certain kinds of anguish. Witness Christ himself, in Gethsemane. What does this person, the one so gifted, especially need to be held accountable for? In what ways do other members of the body need to hold a person with this gift “in check?” What other gifts, exercised by others in the body, are particularly needed to complement and supplement this one area of giftedness?
