I have a question for you, so, to set it up, let us go on a short journey. Say there is an older woman, named Aunt Shirley. It is Christmas time in the Shure family and everyone has congregated over Aunt Shirley's house to exchange gifts. However, everyone in the family knows what they will receive from Aunt Shirley.
You see, every year, Aunt Shirley likes to give the family a gift that she thinks has immeasurable joy and will last forever, so she always gives everyone a Bible.
This year, a friend of the family is in attendance. He receives the Bible out of shock that this would be his gift. He goes to his house and decides to use the Bible as toilet tissue instead of reading it and sharing the Gospel. Now I know what most of you are thinking, "How dare he use the Bible for such a purpose!". The fact is, we all have gifts as well that come from the Lord. For example: singing, dancing, speaking, etc. The real question is, "How dare we use our gifts for no purpose at all?" Are gifts are privileges from God! I urge you to use your gifts, whatever they may be, to bring Glory to the Father!
