Today's Bible reading is all about the gift of Speaking in Tongues.
I Corinthians Chapter 14. Tongue-Tied? Right, so love is the
most important thing, but if you're going to use your spiritual
gifts, use them wisely. The most useful gift, in Paul's opinion, is
prophecy. The least helpful one is speaking in tongues. Why is Paul
down on this practice? Good question. Basically, it's because when
you speak in tongues, no one else can understand what the heck
you're saying. Prophets can build up a community with their
predictions and the things they see. But speaking in tongues is a
pretty individual exercise. Other people would like to understand
what God is trying to say to you, too. Paul rather say five words
that help others than a thousand in holy gibberish that no one
gets. Sometimes non-believers are swayed when they see Christians
speaking in tongues. But if a bunch of non-believers walk into a
church and see everyone speaking in tongues they're going to think
that those Christians have lost it. Okay, so what to do? Well, Paul
says that when the church comes together, people should take turns
speaking in tongues. Then, someone can sit and interpret for them.
If no one is around to interpret, then they need to hush it up 'til
later. And, while we're on the subject of shutting up in
church—maybe the ladies should be doing that, too. Paul says that
"women should be silent in the churches." No talking. Singing. Zip.
If a lady has questions, she can go bother her husband with them
when she gets home. Right after she finishes making him a sandwich.
But anyway, back to tongues. So, it's fine with Paul, but just
don't overdo it, okay? Good. Thanks to www.shmoop.com
