Rev. Kent Clark presents a premise that we are all gifted, but in 2 Timothy Paul admonishes Timothy to stir up the gift that is within us. We can be ever so gifted, but if we don’t “stir up” our gifts, in other words, use our gifts, then they do no good whatsoever. Leaving our gifts dormant deprives the Kingdom of God of the good they could do, and our untested, undeveloped gifts leave us unfulfilled. We must stir up our gifts!
