What does the Bible say about Tongues?

 

The problem is, most people do not read; rather, they read into Scripture what they want and wrap it up in trends and conceit. Thus, many get it wrong and look to pride and not the Bride! Then, why do we have "Speaking in Tongues" and what is it for? After reading the Word, we can then cut away the cuffs of our denominational tendencies, or what we think must be so, or our heritage, or just engage in a rabbit trail of debate. The more excellent way is rather to look to Scripture for our answers.





 Monthly Leadership Article




 

In 1 Samuel 25, there is a story of a little known OT personality with great character; a woman named Abigail. This was during the time that David was running from Saul. Passionate jealousy and paranoia drove Saul to pursue and kill David, while popularity and integrity followed David who, although he had many opportunities to kill Saul, chose out of character and respect to let him go. Saul lived in a palace of stone and pride, and David in a cave of dampness and humility, hanging out with the outcasts of the land and his mighty men. During this time...

 Church Leadership and Prayer Tip of the Week

 

Listening, without arguing or defending yourself, is extremely important! This requires prayer and self-discipline. If you cannot do it, you may be in the wrong profession. Have someone do it, just get it done! Your task is not to persuade people to accept your view, but to communicate Biblical precepts and get them to catch it! You are to make them feel heard. When they feel they are listened to, then their defenses will come down and relationships can be built. Then it will be a pleasure to lead them. They will respect and love you more, and will be more likely to be led by your goals. (Romans 8:31; Ephesians 4:25-29; James 3:1-12)

 

Pray that the congregation is willing and able to come and support the church and staff with grateful hands and words, and that you all realize that the pastors and leadership are necessary and called and accountable to God (Matt. 9:37; Acts 14; 1 Tim. 3:1-7, 10-15; 5:22-23).

We cannot do this vital ministry without you!

 





For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

2 Peter 1:5-8
