Because the modern day Christian lacks understanding of this issue, churches suffer greatly and have little influence in this society. Unfortunately, I do not expect the situation to change anytime soon. The following lesson is to at least take a step in the right direction.

Examine Yourself
Speaking In Tongues – Part 2
Speaking In Tongues – Part 1
This is the first of two parts addressing the issue of the use of unknown tongues in any aspect of the life of the believer. This also addresses the use of a foreign language (known tongues) in a church. We should note the LORD does place an emphasis on knowledge and understanding, particularly understanding. He also places a strong emphasis on edifying the brethren and the church.
Understanding
This audio lesson is the precursor to the lessons on speaking in tongues. It (hopefully) lays the groundwork for understanding that the practice of speaking in tongues does not, and cannot impart a better understanding of the Person, will and work of the LORD God. Plainly, by the Scripture, the LORD God would much rather have His people to possess knowledge and understanding than silver, gold, or any other physical thing.
Yield To Grace
This addresses the fact that the grace bestowed at salvation is much more than just unmerited favor. Rather, it is also the means by which the believer accomplishes the work the LORD God has called them to. This message is about understanding that, and about letting the grace that is in the believer accomplish the purpose the LORD has set for it.
