Richard Merrell - The Lord's Commandments

One Corinthians fourteen <br />Speaks the commandments of the Lord <br />About the use of speaking in tongues <br />And not going overboard. <br /> <br />He who prays in the spirit <br />Speaks unto God and not to men; <br />In the spirit he speaks mysteries <br />But, in silence I commend. <br /> <br />Should he utter in spirit aloud <br />With unknown tongue he now doth speak <br />An interpretation must be given <br />This instruction I now complete. <br /> <br />The church is NOT to lose control <br />Shepherd saying, 'speak in tongues, commence' <br />But decently and in ORDER <br />And not cause the Lord offence. <br /> <br />For many times the church does speak <br />Nearly all do start to babble; <br />This makes the house of God become <br />Just like, a lot of rabble. <br /> <br />Now, if in this I give offence <br />You might say, 'it is false teaching' <br />I answer, you had better think again <br />For it's the Holy Spirit preaching. <br /> <br />I am a man who is spiritual <br />I acknowledge things from God's throne, <br />Verse 37 of chapter 14 <br />Is the reason for this poem! <br /> <br />1 Corinthians 14: 22-40<br /><br />Richard Merrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../the-lord-s-commandm
