Randy In Real Life

The subject of speaking in tongues is by far one of the most controversial of the last few generations. Well meaning Christians are strongly divided over whether or not it is: legitimate, of God, for everybody, necessary, and/or available for today. It is time to do something very bold in our era: open up the Bible and let it speak for itself. We've all heard the opinions of men, but now more than ever we must move to the most trusted source as we search the Scriptures and see if these honest and valid questions have an answer. If speaking in tongues is not for today, then let us move on without delay! However, if speaking in tongues is very real and very much for today, we should be asking two questions; Why so much silence in the church, and what do we do now?

In today's Q&A we begin a discussion on a very controversial subject; speaking in tongues. Sadly, too many churches have been mostly silent about this topic for far too long. Over the next few weeks we will unpack plenty of Scripture as we explore what was 'normative' (fancy word we will discuss soon) for the Early Church, confront some common errors in the Spirit-filled community, investigate various gifts of the Spirit, and hopefully inspire you to draw your own conclusions based on the Word of God.

Today I talk about one of the reasons the church is VERY imbalanced in the United States, and how it can become healthy again. We're going to break down some simple truths that I believe if implemented would help the Church become a powerful force again. I also go on a tiny rant and use an illustration that at one point may make you laugh (or judge me).

Today we begin a 2-3 week series within our Q&A segment discussing several strong questions that came in on Facebook. These are questions that a lot of people have asked and are asking. Why have churches moved away from Pentecostal/Charismatic expressions to a more Seeker/Attractional model? Why are we messages catered to surface level self-help lessons? Why do churches time everything to a tee? Put on your seatbelts, the next few weeks are going to be quite a ride!
