seemed to be tongues of fire

Moved and enthralled by this verse, I purchased the Acts 2 jacket from SWC in 2007. I didn't fully understand the verse, nor did I fully comprehend how it would impact my life. Evangelism is not my gift and tongues will probably never be, yet this chapter seemed to call to me as I stared at the jacket still on the rack.

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them... Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, 'What does this mean?' Some, however, made fun of them and said, 'They have had too much wine.' Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."' -- Acts 2:3-4,12-17

I didn't adopt the ability to speak in tongues as I yanked the sleeves over my arms. Nor did I as I began wearing it everywhere I went... However, I did gain the confidence to speak out boldly and proudly about the faith I already had. It's great to wear a piece of Christian clothing... It's even greater to fully understand the basis for the verses and ideas represented in the clothing! Don't allow the clothes to speak for themselves... Allow the fire of the Holy Spirit to fall upon you and spur you into conversations with believers and non-believers alike! Research the verses and formulate your own opinions. Be a vessel for God's word instead of a mute billboard.
