Episode 5 - His Word is the Compass

Set Apart Living

In today’s episode, we’re addressing a heartfelt question about navigating the tension between prophecy, spiritual gifts, and different church environments. The listener comes from a Romanian Pentecostal background where gifts like prophecy and speaking in tongues were often emphasized, sometimes to the point of misuse, which can be discouraging. Now, they are attending a nondenominational church that follows cessationism—the belief that these gifts are no longer active in our time—creating a sense of moving from one extreme to another. Above all, it’s crucial to honor the Word of God without partiality, avoiding the misuse of spiritual gifts for personal gain, as this can lead to blasphemy. While Scripture affirms the importance of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12-14), it also emphasizes that love must be the guiding force. Most importantly, honoring the Lord’s Word is more valuable than anything else, for those who truly love Him will keep His commands, even when it challenges our comfort or traditions.
