Want to answer some questions?
Absolutely.
OK, it's time to bring it on.
This first one comes from
[INAUDIBLE], who says,
"I would like to know why
everybody cannot speak
in tongues.
I just read a book
on the Holy Spirit.
And it says that
speaking in tongues
is our personal language to God.
I have prayed and asked
for my love language,
but still don't have mine.
Am I doing something wrong?
Or is there something
I'm missing?
I really want to speak to God
in my own private language."
Gary, the Bible says,
the apostle Paul wrote,
that not all speak in tongues.
And he put it in the context
of what are you believing in
and do you believe you have
a gift and are you acting.
There's a whole lesson I
encourage people to get.
"Mr. Charisma," Harald
Bredeson put it together,
"How To Speak in Tongues
and Share it With Others."
I would encourage
you to watch that.
And if you watch
that, you'll get it.
Because he gives you
the faith to believe.
He educates you for it.
And the whole dichotomy
are gifts caught or are
they taught?
And salvation is
taught, and then caught.
And I believe the gifts
operate the same way.
You teach them, and
then people get them.
OK.
This is Paula, who says,
my sister and her husband
have a two-foot Buddha
statue in their living room.
Although they believe in God
and don't worship the statue,
I'm concerned my
7-year-old niece is living
in a house with a false God.
What should I say to my sister?
Paula, I don't have
idols in my house.
They just are offensive to me.
But some people
consider them art.
And I would let them
have the peace of knowing
that you respect that decision.
I wouldn't be worried about
a 7-year-old living with it.
Just ask God to reveal himself
to her and live in peace,
live in peace with your family.
We leave you these words
from Psalm 91, "for He shall
give His angels charge
over you to keep you
and in all your ways."
God bless, we'll see you again.
