Praying in Tongues for the Evangelical: How does it work?

July 29, 2011 by

How do you teach on a supernatural gift? After all, the ability to do it is given directly from God to us. That is true, however, I believe God is giving grace in these last days to allow us to teach on all supernatural gifts. I don’t believe we can teach someone how to do […]

Praying in Tongues for the Evangelical: Is it good?

I thought I would touch on one of the most controversial topics in the Bible for today’s church. The gift of tongues comes up time and time again when talking about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Here is my attempt to simplify the ministry that everyone in the church has been called to join.

Matthew 25:1-13…Jesus talking about His return for His bride. 1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any […]
