Q: Is all this talk about strengths actually found in the scriptures?
A. Yes.
Ministry Insights was founded on the biblical principle of uniqueness: God created you and each person around you with unique strengths. He has placed you together to build His Kingdom.
This principle from God’s Word establishes a foundation for understanding ourselves and our relationships. It allows us to see that our differences are strengths when allowed to function as God designed. God’s desire in our relationships is for our differences to unite us, not divide us.
But don’t take our word for it. Go to the Word instead. Study the biblical basis for strengths for yourself.
The key scriptures below explain God’s plan for our uniqueness. We hope you can read them, study them, and discover for yourself God’s design for differences.
