It is my firm conviction, based on the Scriptures, that the gift of “tongues' from Acts 2 is speaking a previously unknown language. It came to authenticate the apostles before Scripture was written and served as a sign to the Jews that judgment was upon the nation. We see tongues spoken only two other times in Acts when the Gospel reached the concentric spheres mentioned in 1:8 and then it ended in Acts 19 when the Gospel reached the so-called “remotest part of the earth” (cf. Ac. 2:4; 8:17; 10:46 and 19:6).

SOARING FAITH
by J. Randal Matheny

The eagle sweeps across the sky,
Wind under its wings and opened breast.
It glides upon the current, high
Above the earth, for food and rest.

Wait, wait upon the Lord,
Renew your strength where the Spirit blows;
Your soaring faith its own reward,
The quiet heights for your repose.

1. Here's why I'm early this week with the poem:
