Weird Tract Number 41: "Confused" by ArkWork Publications

Troy Davis writes:

This 34-page tract published by ArkWork Publications is one of many tracts out there that appears to be an attempt to look like a Chick tract.  The crux is that speaking in tongues is a tool of Satan and are "a sign given to disbelieving Jews." Yikes!

The anonymous author bases this assertion on 1 Corinthians 1:22 and 14:22 which respectively tell us (King James Version) "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:" and "Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."

The artwork is abysmal and the illustrations of people speaking in tongues are either portrayed as goofy or as demon-possessed. In the film I wrote and co-produced, Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story, there was a character who spoke in tongues. I advised the actor to study the YouTube videos of preacher Robert Tilton in his natural habitat.
