Passage: 1Corinthians 14:13~25
Key Verse: 20b
Title: BE ADULTS IN YOUR THINKING
Content:
1. Five intelligible words to instruct others (13-19)
Paul says to pray in a tongue in a church gathering when they are interpreted. It is to edify the church. If we pray or sing in a tongue, people are not able to understand and respond to God through our message. In order to edify others in the church Paul would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in tongues.
2. Stop thinking like children (20-25)
If we insist on speaking in tongues in our worship service, instead of our own personal devotion, unbelievers will be put off by it. Paul says, 'Stop thinking like children.' However, if we all speak the words of prophecy, reveal the truth of the gospel clearly, it can convict unbelievers of their sins, help them to repent, and worship God and acknowledge that God is truly among us. When we outgrow our self-centered way of thinking and speak to strengthen, encourage, embrace, and comfort others around us, we can be a blessing and build up the church. That's why Paul urges us to desire the gift of prophecy more than the gift of tongues.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the gifts of the Spirit given to edify the church. Help me to use my spiritual gifts to edify the church and to share the gospel of Jesus with others.
One Word: Five intelligible words rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
