Speaking in tongues is good: Loving another is better

Corinthians 14 verses 18-19 "1I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.".

  • Neon faith – Bright, conspicuous and unmistakable

    The gospel message. Chances are, that if you're reading this, you've probably heard it before. Christ came into the world - God in flesh among men - to live a perfect life, seek and save a broken humanity, and to surrender His own perfect life in the exchange of all of humanity's wrongdoing. He then conquered death through resurrection so that all who believed in Him would not eternally die but eternally live - starting now on this earth and being perfected in the kingdom to come.

  • The chronic stuff - my personal walk

    We are all strugglers. In Christian theology it\'s a part of life on earth after the fall. Sin entered the world and as a result, we suffer. Some suffering passes like a light shower. We feel the weight of the burden, but soon enough we have been carried through and are able to testify of God\'s providence in our woe.

  • Taking your marriage to the mechanic

    The longer I drive my car, the more I don't feel the need to maintain it.

  • My slant on the crisis in Palestine

    God has been returning the Jews to their home-land after the long Diaspora and two millennia of Roman, Christian and Muslim persecution throughout the world. These are a people who have survived as an ethnic-religious group two thousand years after being alienated from their ancient homeland, dispersed by the Roman emperor Titus.

  • How can I be sure that God is real?

    In his book The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins stipulates that God is a delusion. God is a 'psychotic delinquent' created by deluded people. In other words, anyone that has a belief in God is deluded and even mad. Dawkins' believes that there is no evidence proving the existence of God. God is just something that deluded people create in their minds and is far from reality. This is a view which I must say, is rather offensive and thought provoking.

  • Information overload

    I wrote an article in 2013 called 'Cottonwool kids,' which was about the way an increasingly protective and PC western society likes to protect kids from taking risks and playing bull-rush at school lunch times. However I'd argue that the cotton wool doesn't just wrap around young people's bodies, these days it has become entangled in our thoughts and it's numbing our ability to think and to focus.

  • Peace yes, not war

    It is very important for people to know how precious peace is. In a peaceful and stable environment people focus on developing their economic factors and therefore, it behoves material and spiritual satisfaction, and in a state of national peace, people can feel an enriched security for happiness deep within their hearts.

  • Sex isn't my fault

    Why do you keep asking about boundaries?

  • Society and Snowflakes

    Have you ever noticed how easy it is to impress someone when they know nothing about what you are doing? A simple task can be the pinnacle of excellence to the ignorant.

  • I'd be New Age if it wasn't for Jesus.

    It's not considered to be the realm of only the quirky few, or fringe ex-hippies. Concepts such as reincarnation, karma, and an all-powerful universe are now commonplace. New Age beliefs, which seem to be interwoven into modern Western culture, even appeal to me every now and then.

  • International Sport: Lebron James – The Prodigal Son Returns

    The saga continues, not since the "Lord of the Rings" has there been a trilogy of these proportions. If you are wondering what I'm dribbling on about so early in my article, it's the coming chapter of the life of the self-proclaimed King and chosen one Lebron James.
