Lim is referring to his grouping of the spiritual gifts based on 1Corinthians 12: 6-8 and 1Corinthians 14: 1-33
“Teaching, ministry of the body of Christ to the Church and the world, and worship are three keys to a healthy local assembly. If we have only two of these categories without the third we have imbalance and open ourselves to difficulties.
For example, if we have teaching and ministry without strong worship, we may lose much of the thrust of revival. We may readily burn out in our zeal in serving. If we have teaching and worship without practical ministry, our members will become lazy, ingrown, ineffective, critical, and divisive.
If we have ministry and worship without solid teaching, we open ourselves to extremes and wildfire that will damage the revival in both the short term and long term. Without the complement of all, the local assembly cannot reach its potential. Clearly Paul is interested in practical results, that which will set the body of Christ free for discipling, evangelism, unity, and Christlikeness.”
