To all those who talk of God’s gifts to his church

16 05 2008

Keep talking. It’s a great thing. However:

  • God gives ‘gifts’, not ‘giftings’,
  • Thank God for ‘giving gifts to …’, not ‘gifting …’
  • Whilst you can talk of someone being gifted something, e.g. ‘Joe has been gifted with a remarkable ability with people’, try to avoid it. People in our culture rarely speak like this.

That is all.





To internet forum users everywhere

Two things:

  • When you agree with something stated previously, it’s “hear, hear”, not “here, here”.
  • If you ask people to go with you on some point for a while, please do not ask them to “bare with you”. That’s a little scary.

That is all. For now.Â
