As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. — 1 Peter 4:10

There was a lot of talk in the 1960s and 1970s about people's freedom to "do their own thing." Being oneself, getting to know oneself, and expressing oneself were encouraged. 

A Christian should never strive for unhealthy individualism that rejects God and exalts the self, of course. However, He may use our unique talents and spiritual gifts for His glory when we are aware of our obligations to others and our reliance on the Lord. 

Christians are reminded in Romans 12 that although they are all members of one body, they each possess unique talents that God has given them. Every child of God has a responsibility to acknowledge his unique gifts and put them to use in serving Him. 

The roles of the pilot, co-pilot, mechanics, engineers, and flight attendants varies in commercial aeroplanes. What danger would arise for the passengers if each crew member abandoned his responsibilities for another position? In a similar vein, if a church's members push for the viewpoint of another, it could suffer major consequences. 

Don't compromise God's best by lusting after a job you might not be qualified for. Take advantage of the gift that God has given you and "do your own thing." Do it well, too! 

You can serve God the most effectively where you are. What other people do is irrelevant; my job is to observe.

My life is built on the blueprint that the Lord has for me.
