However, there are some things that certain people are passionate about that the rest of the Body should also be passionate about. Evangelicals in general would do well to people who advocate holistic relief and development in third world countries, even though not everyone is passionate about that topic. It's not as though that topic is a "spiritual gift" that has been given to some people and not others; rather, some people have seen the teaching of God in the scripture and are acting on that. Other areas, such as giving, structure and purpose of the church, etc. could also fall under this area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30407390.post-1151705011349041832006-06-30T17:03:00.000-05:002006-06-30T17:03:00.000-05:00Nancy,There is no such gift.

A university is made up of colleges/departments. For example, NCU has Theology, Pastoral Studies, Youth Studies, Psychology, Business, El Ed, and other areas.<BR/><BR/>As for Nazarene Architecture, a college will typically beat out an A-Frame Nazarene Church any day of the week. And that is what most Nazarene Churches are, boring A frame buildings.Matthew Nowlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724665687123205487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30407390.post-1151704716623387082006-06-30T16:58:00.000-05:002006-06-30T16:58:00.000-05:00So, are you saying that my gifts of criticism and ...So, are you saying that my gifts of criticism and judgment aren't legitimate spiritual gifts? :-) Here are the questions that plaque me. What's the difference between a college and a university? I thought I knew but my theory has been proven wrong. Also, is the architecture in all Nazarene Churches the same? I went to a Nazarene college, which is now a university, and I don't recall particularly boring architecture. Of course, it was on the ocean so my vision might have been diverted by the handiwork of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
