Talent is a two-sided coin that features blessings on one side and curses on the other.
Gifts of talent have placed spiritually immature individuals on the cutting edge of the church's voice to the world and eventually allowed them to be destroyed by the worship and admiration of the faithful. Such worship of musical or speaking talent can completely distort the spiritual focus of gifted singers and preachers. We must understand the difference between the anointing and the approval of God. The truth is, God uses whatever we submit to Him. It is becoming common to see former Oneness Pentecostal preachers and singers who evidence the anointing in their meetings but who publicly reject the basic Bible doctrines and holiness lifestyle that originally birthed their ministries.
