The language of people is interwoven with their culture and has been for a long time. We can remove barriers by making sure we appreciate and embrace the culture and even the language of people not of our nationality. Fortunately, we have learned people today who can help get past the language barrier and help us to understand where they're coming from. The stats seem to support that, in the U.S. specifically, we are moving toward a bilingual and perhaps even a multilingual culture. Maybe our children of theirs wll speak and understand several languages! This could definitely be a way of getting past the barriers.bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777715.post-1122600699661598972005-07-28T21:31:00.000-04:002005-07-28T21:31:00.000-04:00It's interesting to me that one of the first and m...It's interesting to me that one of the first and most powerful ways the Spirit worked at Pentecost was to nullify the effects of Babel for the sake of the gospel.Keith Brentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370891993969932472noreply@blogger.com
