Praying in Tongues vs Enthusiastic Pig Latin?

May 14

Written By Jeff Larson

Christian Cartoon of enthusiastic man praying in a tongue that sounds more like Pig Latain — 1 Corinthians 12:7-11

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good…
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and He distributes them to each one, just as He determines.
Note: PIG LATIN… is simply NOT one of those gifts.

SOMETIMES WE TRY TOO HARD…

We want to be spiritual. We want to do it right. We want to impress God and others.

But sometimes our zeal can make us sound more like we’re speaking Pig Latin than praying in the Spirit.

Relax, Rick. God’s not impressed by volume or speed. He looks at the heart.
