Biblically, the gift of helps should receive the same attention as the gifts of prophecy; the person who shows mercy and the person who speaks in tongues should be held with equal esteem. Then there will be equality, and such a Body can dwell in unity. Wise is the charismatic pastor who strives for such equality among his members. And biblical, though daring, is the non-charismatic pastor who accepts and cultivates the God-given ministries of all who would be his parishioners.
