If we spent half as much time talking about standards and using that same time and energy teaching and preaching about the gifts of the Spirit, the Apostolic church would be at a whole other level right now.

My only disagreement with this post is that I feel that is not teaching about gifts of the Spirit that we are lacking, but the FRUIT of the Spirit. Am I the only one who feels this way?
My pastor is spending a lot of time on this right now, and it seems like it isn't what some people want to hear. They want to be dazzled by the gifts rather than apply the Word to their lives to produce fruit. Anyone else see this trend?
