He’s a policeman, a soldier, a programmer, a farmer, a murderer, a priest and a politician. He is anything that he wants to be. He’s a salesman by day and an author by night.

If there is no pain in your life, you cannot possibly touch the pain in others.
Sympathy is no replacement for empathy.

Christians have a language all their own and I’m not talking about their manner of speech. I’m referring to the verbiage. No one but a Christian says things like seek your face. When I am looking for my wife, I do not say I seek her face. I say I’m looking for her. How many other examples of Christianese can you think of?
The Son didn’t mimic the jargon and idioms of bygone days. He spoke clearly and plainly so that all could understand. Do Christians think their King James linguistic gymnastics will draw the world to the cross?
In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s not working, so stop it. Speak the language of the people or save your self-elevating jargon for your weekly club meetings because only those who know the secret handshake seem to appreciate it.
It sounds harsh, but you know I’m right and if not, show this to an unbeliever and see if he or she agrees. I dare you.

Catholic experts are expected to advise Pope Benedict XVI that teachings on the state of limbo - somewhere between heaven and hell - should be amended.
For centuries many Roman Catholics have believed that the souls of babies who die before baptism remain in limbo.
But the concept has never been part of official Church teaching, and it is thought Pope Benedict may be keen to do away with it.

Our correspondent says some have suggested that the possible change is an attempt by the Vatican to prevent people in developing countries with high infant mortality rates turning to Islam - Muslims believe the souls of stillborn babies go straight to paradise.
What’s frightening is, they are not even embarrassed.
