The Gift of Tongues

The Gift of Tongues

The Gift of Tongues is a concise reference to one of the most mysterious practices of the Christian faith. The definition, description, and uses of tongues are each explained, giving the biblical references. The author covers a variety of views on the gift of tongues and briefly discusses the cessation theory. Topics include: the purposes of tongues, use of tongues in church and in private, the nature and value of tongues to the church and to the individual, and how to revive a church in which the gifts have dwindled.

Quotes:
â€œIs it any wonder that the principalities of darkness are rising up and overpowering the floundering church of North America? Our mighty weapons in Christ have been cast aside for the rocks and clubs of mere human ability - natural instead of supernatural, but predictable and logical, and conveniently taught in seminary.â€

â€œChristianity is nothing more than religion when it ceases to be supernatural!â€

Author's Note: [ Teaching a class on the gifts of the Spirit for the last eleven years has convinced me that the gift of tongues is the most emotionally charged subject in the Bible. My classes on the gifts are always robust with questions and comments - and occasional funny looks - and blank stares. But I am also convinced that the spiritual gifts belong to the body of foundational truths of which every Christian needs understanding.

One of my favorite ice breakers is to ask a series of "Would it be Biblical?" questions. Seldom do the students get these questions right. It becomes obvious right away that most in the class haven't studied the Bible's counsel on tongues. But most of the students do already have some bias as to whether tongues are actually holy or not.

Now that I have accumulated more knowledge on the subject of tongues than I can possibly teach in an hour, the logical course is to write this little book. I hope you will find it to be fresh and informative as you take another look at this mysterious gift. ] - end excerpt
