The more spectacular gifts usually appear on the cutting edge of the Kingdom, the pointy end of the stick, the mission field. The default setting for most of us, the norm, is routine daily faithfulness that compounds over the decades into results we could never have imagined.

The old pentecostal preachers had a handy aphorism: signs must follow believers. When believers follow signs, things are out of order. c.f. the Todd Bentley dog and pony show, and various counterfeit “revivals” that do not lead to an increase in home schooling.

Well put.

Folks who were trained in cemetaries (seminaries) tend to have God in so many pretend tidy little boxes, He usually leaves the building and them to their own fantasies.
