I listen to this fine, fine preacher now, & since just after my believing in the Lord Jesus Christ in 1968 and read all his writings he left us. I have re-read much of the books, passed extra copies off to other saints, they as enthused as I was. It is this man, also very much Albert N. Martin, and Chas. Spurgeon...these three (and my Bible, yes,) profusely, and they, in their preaching led me to the great Puritans, others. I plunged into my Bible, soon found these good men so I had good teaching to begin with. I thank God every day since for them.
A most concise, succint exposition of a vital subject for all Christians. We give YOU all the Glory LORD for Dr.MLJ's faithfulness to your plan and purpose for his life in Christ Jesus, and for giving him the gift of expository preaching, that we YOUR adopted sons and daughters may understand !
"least of the gifts" does not imply that it is of lower worth. Speaking in tongues is communication with God, which makes the effects on a person's soul very clear - 1 Corinthians 14:2,4. The speaker is edified tremendously. If I couldn't pray and sing in the spirit, I'm not sure where I would be. One should experience this gift to know the sweetness that comes out of it. Without this magnificent gift, you won't be able to survive in a country like India with such a toxic spiritual atmosphere, and I can't thank God enough for it. When I didn't know what to pray in my troubled times, my spirit took control and afterwards, such peace and joy from the Lord filled my heart. Apostle Paul said I would that ye all spake with tongues - 1 Corinthians 14:5. Praying and singing in the spirit will elevate you into a higher realm in the spirit and I can guarantee you that this gift can help a depressive person out of his/her trouble.
read the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 14, Paul repeats over and over that uninterpreted tongues are virtually useless unless there is interpretation the gifts are given to edify others, not for yourself
Please pardon me but having read your comment, it seems to me that you place a bit too much emphasis on 'experience' rather than 'a' Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who keeps us, being the great Shepherd of the sheep and in Whose presence ..is fullness of joy. Sorry but there was, I felt, something in all you wrote that didn't sound quite right to me... God bless you 🌺
so you rely on your tongues and not on Christ? that's bordering idolatry... putting your trust and hope in a gift rather than the gift giver... "elevate into a higher realm of spirit" yeah that's called gnosticism.... sound like the same nonsense new agers like to say
36:00 - 37:59 - This is were he speaks on tongues the reason for the conclusion comes just before, and explanation after. 43:00 - Peopple can hypnotise themselves.(44:45)

Unfortunately not ! MJL has missed completely the context. Here speak a man , who is nearly there but hasn’t got it.
Proper and insightful. An excellent sermon as usual.
The best teaching I have ever heard on this subject
Wonderful teaching, thank you for the upload.
One of the best teachings on this subject! Praise God!!

elevate you into a higher realm??? thats gnostic teaching

Interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard a reformed preacher hold this position.
Really clear teaching on the gift of tongues!! God is glorified, not man, in the true gift of tongues!
Wonderfully Explained
The beloved Doctor wished to see Christians open to the work of the Holy Spirit and baptized in the Spirit.
I have struggled with speaking in tongues and what it really means for years. Dr. Jones (no relation) explains it in a way that makes total sense.
I kinda had my doubts about speaking in tongues but this explained it perfectly and I understand now. Thank you very much and God bless you
Wonderful teaching I have never find such a teaching any where
Tongues are a beautiful intimate time with the creator
36:00 - 37:59 - This is were he speaks on tongues the reason for the conclusion comes just before, and explanation after.
43:00 - Peopple can hypnotise themselves.(44:45)
(12:10) - different "kinds of tongues"; (14:10) - explains "kinds of tongues" are human languages.
Does anyone know the name of the tune sung here.. please? 🌺
Great preacher. I wonder if he ever tasted pizza....
How did you arrive here with a comment like that?
Very sad.
probably. he died in the early 80s. pizza began to be popular in the UK after ww2 after an influx of italian immigrants arrived
