By Dave Kahle

“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. …

Second, spiritual gifts, identified and unleashed, can be a powerful asset within a business to enable it to reach its Kingdom potential.

Put those two together, and it’s clear that our ignorance of spiritual gifts is one of the things that hinder our business success.
While the subject is too deep and complex to adequately treat in a piece of this length, we can peel back a couple of layers, and consider how they might impact our businesses and our careers.

Here are four fundamental truths regarding spiritual gifts.

1. Every Christian has at least one.

Note the passage above: “given to everyone.” The letter to the Corinthians was written to the Christians in that city so that the ‘everyone’ refers to ‘all Christians.’ That thought is repeated in Romans 12, another definitive passage on spiritual gifts.
