We often call the gift of tongues a “sign gift.” That is a good description. We know signs are welcomed because they point us to a destination. Yet when we arrive at the desired destination, there longer remains any need for the sign. Unlike the first century, we now know the Bible is complete, Israel is judged (Jer. 5:15; Isa. 28:11; 33:19) and the church is composed of Jew and Gentile. Therefore, the sign (for those purposes) has taken us to our destination and is no longer necessary – tongues have ceased (1 Cor. 13:8). So, any use of tongues spoken of in the Bible (and there are only two beyond Acts – an obscure passage in Mark 16 and the rebuke to the immature Corinthian church), must be interpreted in light of the Acts passages that clearly reveal a known language. Can God still enable a person to speak a previously unknown foreign language? Perhaps, but it is not “tongues” in the biblical sense.

INSTRUCTIONS

COOKIES
FROSTING
These cookies were favorites when mom had some sour milk around. We
*always* had bunches of oranges, so this was a great recipe to use up the
oranges. Anyone with a prolific fruit tree, knows what I mean! <g>
COOKIES Mis sugar and shortening until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a
time and beat well after each. Dissolve soda in sour milk. Add flour and
sour milk alternately to sugar mixture. Add the juice and rind of two
oranges and mis well. Drop onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees
until lightly brown. Cool. Frost.
FROSTING Mix frosting ingredients together beating well. Frost the cookies,
when cool.
