Les explains that Paul continues in verse 14 to admonish the Corinthians to take stock of what they were doing and realize that all that glitters is not gold. Les clarifies that he is not condemning those who claim to have spoken in tongues, nor looking down on them. Instead, he asks everyone, in the spirit of chapter 13, the love chapter, to analyze the whole thing in the light of what God wants, not what men want. He notes we live in an era of instant gratification, and this applies to every area of life.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
