Chapter 14 is long…very long, but full of good info. It (to me) discusses the language of love, prayer, and healing. There are all different kinds of language, some spoken and some unspoken.

It is good to pray in private, to empty your heart and soul and to ask for a refreshing response. It is just as good to use what Paul calls the prayer language in church…a language that speaks to everyone, for everyone. Language that excludes, does nothing. Why keep God a secret?

That is where I say the KISS principle comes in…..Don’t make the discussion of your side by side trip with God, so difficult that no one can understand your point. A language of enlightening might be done in song, by a gentle touch to comfort, or in the ‘local’ slang.
What makes it important is to say how wonderful God is, what He has done for you and what He can do for all. One can speak all day in English, but if other only people listening speak in Spanish, how can the God point be made.

Keep your churches open to all….preach to and pray for all….be a disciple…..
