AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Subject: Why do I want to speak in tongues? |
Bible Note: Yes flyman- but even when others are giving you good advice about what to do you still refuse to do it. I fear you need more help than this type of forum can offer you. I sincerely recommend a good church that puts priority on the Lordship of Christ and the study of God's word. They are not all true to that so be careful in your search. Once there, be involved in as many bible study functions as possible including Sunday School and small group studies. Don't be afraid to ask questions but most important, recognize your own currrent lack of understanding so that you don't find yourself trying to teach and getting it wrong. Be responsible. 2 Tim 2:15 (NASB) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, ACCURATELY HANDLING the word of truth. (caps added) Jeff |
