Choosing what is right can be difficult, especially when valuing the opinion of man! Most often people do, what they do to fit in, because society has deemed it acceptable, cool, the “it” thing to do, and made it “ok”!

It’s exactly the same way with Christ! When it comes to our spiritual gifts; each person is given something to do that shows exactly who God is! Just as with our body’s we can’t say to the ear I’m tired of you, you are fired! If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it
