the man who was thursday

this months free audio book from Christian audio is the man who was thursday by C.K.Chesterton. what a magnificently confusing story! it was easy enough to follow but what it all means is not so easy. there are strong Christian illustrations imbedded into what has been called a metaphysical thriller, it keeps you at the edge of your seat as the twists and turns of this journey unfold one chapter after the next. i downloaded the book late last night and just finished it now. i must say it has been one of my very favorite books thus far, even if by the time it's all said and done your not quite sure what just happened, you only know you really liked it.

1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

In the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ we saw him preforming each and everyone of these Gifts, except 2.

• the word of wisdom
  
• the word of knowledge 
  
• faith
  
• healing
  
• the working of miracles
  
• prophecy
  
• discerning of spirits
  
• divers kinds of tongues
• the interpretation of tongues
  

The only two gifts in this list Jesus never used, divers kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues, why? 

something to think about i think...
