Question
Hello.'There is no intent to offend in this question'.This question is for a fictional short story I'm patricipating in.Could you tell me the pros and cons,good and bad of the four listed 'Gifts' that God could give??
1.ETERNAL LIFE
2.LOVE
3.WISDOM
4.WEALTH
The reason for this bizarre Q is that I belong to an online creative writing group and we were given prompts for our short story and choosing one of these gifts would be part of the story.So I am asking you in your wisdom what you can see as pros and cons of each! Best regards,Caroline
Caroline,
Thank you for the opportunity to help. I will give you a brief answer to each point...
1. Pro: Living forever with Christ. Con: None
2. Pro: Acceptance, forgiveness, happiness. Con: None
3. Wisdom: Abilities to make the right choice's. Con: None
4. Wealth: Abilities to provide for one's family, give to those in need, and to give into the Kingdom of God in a greater way. Con: The temptation to rely upon one's wealth rather than the Lord Himself.
Hope this helps.
Elder Greg Madden

Expertise
As a born again, Holy Ghost filled minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ I am available to answer questions concerning most all Biblical doctrines, the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, "Pentecostal/Apostolic" issues, and the history of the Pentecostal movement.
For more info check out our web site at... I gave my heart to the Lord a few months after being married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since!
In those twenty five years we have only attended one church (Harvest Church), and there I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president.
In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.
