Out of Order - North

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul teaches that spiritual gifts should be practiced in a way that builds up the church, communicates truth clearly, and helps people encounter God. Whether through prophecy or tongues, the goal is never personal indulgence or attention, but the strengthening of others. Clarity is kindness, truth is meant to be heard, and spiritual maturity means using our gifts with love, wisdom, and self-control. The God of order invites His people to pursue the gifts of the Spirit while reflecting His character in the way we use them.
