If you could speak in the tongues of angels, or some sort of heavenly language, wouldn't it be good for the church to hear you doing that? Wouldn't that be uplifting to everyone and encouraging for them? It sounds pretty spectacular. And yet, the answer Paul gives in our passage today is, 'no.' No, it is far better for the church to hear plain old ordinary gospel speech. This is a tricky passage, but at the heart of it reveals God's desire to communicate clearly with His people.
