Becoming Bilingual
November 18, 2011
Is it possiblein a society that seems increasingly indifferent to the gospelto communicate the Good News to people who dont share our faith?
One way to connect with people who are unfamiliar with the things of Christ is to become culturally bilingual. We do this by communicating in ways people can easily relate to. Knowing about and discussing music, film, sports, and television, for example, can offer just such an opportunity. If people hear us speak their language, without endorsing or condoning the media or events we refer to, it could open the door to sharing the timeless message of Christ.
Paul gave us an example of this in Acts 17. While visiting the Areopagus in Athens, he spoke to a thoroughly secular culture by quoting pagan Greek poets as a point of reference for the spiritual values he sought to communicate. He said, In Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring (Acts 17:28). Just as Paul addressed that culture by knowing what they were reading, we may have greater impact for the gospel by relating it to people in terms they can readily embrace.
Are you trying to reach a neighbor or a co-worker with the gospel? Try becoming bilingual.
To earn your neighbors ear
And prove you really care,
Use terms he understands
To show you are aware. Branon
The content of the Bible must be
brought into contact with the world.
Read: Acts 17:19-31
In Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
Acts 17:28

Vegemite? We call it the Australian peanut butter LOL - it does take getting used to however. It has a sort of beefy tasted to it, eat it on crackers.

Looks very familiar, Kathy! We had a day in Boot Camp where we received a cocktail of 18 meds through subcutaneous injections. They had high pressure injectors with six meds each. They applied these to our arms and let them rip. If you moved while the injection was being applied, you earned a jagged bloody mess on your arm.

Looking at eastern Tennessee...where a bunch of my relatives have settled in already. Much closer to my brothers in Michigan and upstate NY and an old spook buddy in Fla and one in Indiana.
And you too....

You'd certainly be in range down there. I've been to Nashville on a business trip but no other experience with TN.

Different countries send their people to do battle for whatever reason. In this case it's a Russian WWII vet talking to an Afghanistan vet. Soldiers are soldiers all over the world. Here's another one I think you'll appreciate.
Survivor of the battle of Stalingrad. A sniper. Ever see the movie "Enemy At The Gates"?
When governments send their citizens to fight for a war they create ... but then I digress.

Good evening, Connie!
*HUGS*
Probably the most important day of my life. My military service played a great part in forming me as an adult. Lots of other things, too - Duty, Honor, Country. My service with the Marines taught me a lot about discipline and
esprit de corps. The things I learned in the military have sustained me and seved me well in later life.
