We're using our gifts, what more does God want? God wants YOU!

In Matthew 7:21 – 27, Jesus gives his disciples a revolutionary teaching. Just like us, the early followers of God wanted an easy measuring stick to evaluate their value in God's kingdom.

Having the right gifts and abilities, knowing the right phraseology, being known for powerful ministry – any of these things – do not make a worshipper! Frankly, God can do his work without us. He chooses to use us. He doesn't want our successful ministry and gifts – he wants our hearts. He wants our lives.

God longs for you to use your gifts for his work. But his heart is broken by men and women who have started with a heart-filled passion for God and then lose it in the intensity of their ministry. We can never forget that even the words "our ministry" are antithetical to a worshipper... it's never ours. We are his servants.
