Podcast: Why Spiritual Gifts Don’t Matter
There are lots of debates about spiritual gifts: do they persist today? Are they supernatural or natural in origin? Did New Testament prophets give perfect divine revelation, or were they just teachers or pastors? Are tongues human languages or angelic utterances?
But all of these debates are essentially moot—meaningless. Why? Because spiritual gifts don’t matter… if…

| This book read like the journal of the quiet, artsy kid at Bible college. Disjointed, scrapbooky, the occasional slam poem here and there. For me, someone who is inclined to agree with many of Zahnd's points but not the quirky artsy type, this made f ...more | |

“Those sentimental radio hits, with their artificial naivete and empty crudities, are the pitiful remains and the maximum that people will tolerate by way of mental effort; it's a ghastly desolation and impoverishmment. By contrast, we can be very glad when something affects us deeply, and regard the accompanying pains as an enrichment.”

“Radical skepticism is no more critical than is credulity.”

“...Jesus did not advocate nonviolence merely as a technique for outwitting the enemy, but as a just means of opposing the enemy in such a way as to hold open the possibility of the enemy's becoming just as well. Both sides must win. We are summoned to pray for our enemies' transformation, and to respond to ill-treatment with a love that not only is godly but also, I am convinced, can only be found in God.”

“Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators.' But they went on with the conviction that they were a 'colony of heaven' and had to obey God rather than man. They were small in number but big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be 'astronomically intimidated.' They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest. Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the archsupporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church’s silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.”
