The gift of party?

Brian Thornton has an excellent post which deals with beliefs about presenting the gospel.  He shares about a book he has had for a long time,  about increasing Sunday School attendance (it looked like it was adult classes in view) which has implications for sharing the gospel in general.  The attitude was " you have to love them into the kingdom."   Brian gives some very good logical conclusions to the beliefs that much of the evangelical world holds. 

One of the things that grabbed me from the quotes from the book was about having the "gift of party."    I guess that goes along with having "the gift of flower arranging."  (I know people have "gifts and talents" but we seem to be elevating some natural or cultivated, God-given talents, to spiritual gifts, which are a different thing altogether.)

You can read his post, Church Growth Gobbly Gook here.
