Who do you follow, and why?

When attending evangelical services ask yourself why do I attend. Do you attend and follow because of gifts being promoted, or because of the Word being expounded.
Lately in the evangelical movement there is a trend that has embedded itself within the movement. The following of gifts.
Gifts in their rightful place are not wrong, but within the wrong can do much harm.
If you listen, read, or hear, most evangelists, prophets, and others of the five fold ministry the highlight of their advertisements is the gifts, Miracles, healings, personal words of prophecy. People are chasing the extremes and not chasing the giver of the gifts. If you are chasing personal words of prophecy to help you plan your life than you are chasing a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
These gifts should operate as a compliment to the preaching of the Word. Unfortunately the Word has been given a back seat to gifts, and the showing of strange and curious happenings.
The apostle Paul did not encourage the gifts to be at the forefront, but the Word and the doctrine of the Word be foremost in our lives. Even Paul had times of seeing the gifts working in his' ministry, but he encouraged people to follow him as he followed Christ. Notice he did not encourage people to run and follow the extreme.
Christ also had gifts working throughout his lifetime of ministry, but still he told his' followers to live by the Word.
The evangelicals need to move back to the place where the Word is foremost in ministry and in people's personal lives.
So, again, the question is, Who do you follow, and why?
