Administration

"The Spiritual ‘gift of administration’ is the ability to turn God-given vision into reality. The word administration comes from the Latin and literally means ‘to’ (ad) ‘minister’. To administer is to do ministry. This role is so essential that Paul lists it as one of the crucial gifts for building up the church – the Spirit equips us with the ability to make things happen, to get the stuff of church-life done. So let’s not belittle it – it is a hugely important gift and an active part of what the Holy Spirit is doing in our midst."

The Internet

"We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true."
