Kids often get filled with the Holy Spirit at a special meeting or Kids Camp and never pray in tongues again. That’s not good. Why ask God for a gift and then only use it one time? The Lord gave us the gift of tongues for a reason. Praying in tongues is a powerful supernatural […]
It’s the month of June, a time of year when our culture asks everyone to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. This creates an awkward situation for Christians.
