Spiritual Gifts and Revival Resources
In the last century, few issues have caused division in the church as much as the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
At Mile Two Church, we want to help you find a balanced, scriptural view, avoiding the excesses that have fueled unnecessary dissension in the Body of Christ.
Here are some resources that present a variety of balanced views on these subjects.
