Something's just not quite right when it's being abused, and we know that. And you can see the self -centeredness of that kind of usage of the gifts. And then what happens to a lot of us, I would say the larger part of the Christian church, because of that abuse, we've tended to kind of be like, off from the gifts. And we assent to them, we acknowledge them, we declare them biblical because they are biblical and they are in the Bible, but when we come to the actual practice of the gifts, we don't see them functioning very often in the church. And so that seems to be the kind of two opposites of how the gifts are being misused or ignored.
