Now, there are all kinds of spiritual gifts, all kinds, an infinite variety. None of us can place a limit on the kinds of gifts God may give. Paul made several lists in different places, and each was a different list, with different gifts. There is no limit to the types of gifts God gives. OK, let's talk about tongues, everyone else does.
Tongues simply means languages.
Some of us can speak the language of computers while the rest of us stand dumb. Glenda Survance is able to communicate with those strange and troubled kids on the street, she understands them in ways I cannot. But I have an instinctive understanding of the world of alcoholics and drug addicts - and by the way, alcohol is a powerful and addictive drug. Others understand the world of autistic children or older adults with Alzheimer's Disease. Somewhere in God's infinite gift bag, you do have a gift.
