thanks for your great letter, you said it much better than I.Yes, the word is something we can rely on, it is concreteYet, we live by faith, and God wants to actively communicateWhen you start shutting down the gifts you become dry and deadYet when people don't know the word the gifts are abused, as we often see.Usually it has to do with some ego or eagerness to embrass something that is appealing to our vanity.Sorry to hear so many fell for it and those who did not were ostracized.I guess that is were we areIt seems here we are more free to express and question each other to keep in balance.It is good to be able to express what we feel God is telling us, I think it helps us grow.I am very thankful for this site
