This is one of the great Bible passages which explains the idea of Spiritual Gifts. This chapter is the one that also talks about the various parts of the body and how we must all work together accoridng to our giftedness as part of God's body as well. I think that this concept is embraced fairly well at our current church. However, not embracing this concept has led to the demise of many groups of believers. Churches would be wise to visit and re-visit I Corinthians 12 on a regular basis.
