Coffee is a must! Summer time I don't drink as much - unless it's an iced Americano or something. Fall and winter I drink more. We have a Tassimo (yeah, I know, landfills and all that...), but they have some great blends that I like as a single cup, along with my every-day stuff.
I LOVE strong...
Just the same way, error can be corrected by careful study of truth. Even if one is a "continuationist", Paul laid out VERY specific guidelines on how and how not to use the gift of "tongues". Pentecostals have largely ignored these and appear "mad" - the very thing the Apostle warned about. But...

The "unfounded presumption" is this idea that the problem lies with the sick person who just needs to "try a little harder" and they'll make it.
Perhaps an example closer to home will help. Have you ever had the...
Of course. The Spirit will guide us into all truth. But he will also help us to be discerning with whatever gifts we have and in their proper and legitimate use.
Ah yes, the "witness I have within me". I always wondered at that one. Pentecostal speak for "my opinion on the matter, based on emotional experience, is..."
And I've been there, done that, got the UPC T-shirt.
A skewed keyboard, superglue residue all over the place, a non-functioning touch-pad, and dings all over the place where they tried to pry the thing open with a screwdriver. However, the screen worked quite well! :D
Let's see... Sara, Dr. Bob, JoJo, Christmas, Harley, Karma. In full disclosure, Sara was my parent's cat, but I threatened to kidnap her on many occasions.
