'Beautiful And Practical.'
(The Gifts of the Holy Spirit given by Christ to His Church)
a) Song of Solomon 1:11. These gifts of the Holy Spirit always have these two qualities: Beautiful and Practical.
b) Ezekiel 16:14. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit always beautify the Church in a Practical way.
c) Genesis 1:26. Here is the Work of the Godhead in giving these Practical and Beautiful Gifts. The Trinity of God works together in perfect unison.

'Favouritism Makes A Dysfunctional Family.'
Genesis 37:3-4.
a) Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons because Joseph was born in his old age.
b) He made a special garment for him.
c) When all the other sons of Israel saw this they hated Joseph because they were jealous of him.
d) These brothers could not talk nicely or peaceably to Joseph because of their difficult hearts.
(This Second one clearly shows me that Favouritism Makes A Dysfunctional Family)

Chris.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are both Beautiful and Practical. When God leads into sharing a Gift of the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ it will be something Beautiful that will Glorify God. It will definitely not be an entertainment. Secondly, when God leads into sharing a Gift of the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ it will be Practical. The Gift from the Holy Spirit will achieve something that brings Glory to God.
