神賜予人屬靈恩賜,為要使他們有能力在教會、在世界服事別人, 因此,所有關於恩賜的主張都必須經過聖經的檢驗與篩選;唯有與聖經的教導一致的,才值得重視。
那麼,你該怎麼做呢?在這本小冊中,溥偉恩用很簡單卻很精緻的框架,來展現各種不同的屬靈恩賜和教會中聖靈工作的廣度。這個主題雖然很棘手,但作者處理得相當精湛!

God gives people spiritual gifts to enable them to serve others in the church and in the world. Therefore, all claims about gifts must be tested and screened by the Bible; only those that are consistent with the teachings of the Bible are worthy of attention. .
So, what should you do? In this booklet, Poythress uses a very simple but delicate framework to show the various spiritual gifts and the breadth of the Holy Spirit's work in the church. Although this topic is very tricky, the author handles it quite superbly!
