Chuck Smith discusses the gift of tongues, emphasizing that it involves speaking in a language that the speaker does not understand, which can be a challenge to the intellect. He encourages believers to remain open to receiving this gift, as it serves as a covenant between them and God, allowing for deeper worship and expression of praise. Smith highlights the importance of faith in receiving God's gifts, noting that intellectual barriers often hinder acceptance. He also stresses that the true measure of spiritual maturity is love, not the possession of spiritual gifts like tongues. Ultimately, he calls for unity and love among believers, regardless of their experiences with the gift of tongues.

D.L. Moody emphasizes the transformative power of faith and love, asserting that faith makes all things possible while love makes them easy. He highlights the importance of character, the necessity of emptying oneself of selfishness to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and the role of the Bible in personal transformation. Moody also stresses the significance of prayer, the need for personal responsibility in spiritual growth, and the impact of a holy life. He encourages believers to trust in God's promises and to actively engage with Scripture for spiritual nourishment.
