If you were to learn a new language, would you only do it if
you thought you might use it? Would you
need to be planning a trip to the foreign country whose language you had
chosen? That is how many people think. I
however can invest large amounts of time in learning a language when I have
very little chance of using it just for the joy of the experience. I have never had a passport or, therefore,
travelled abroad, but at different times I have dabbled in French (at school),
Italian, German, Spanish, Icelandic and recently in Russian. Language is fascinating. It worries me a little that I may be trying
to reverse Babel. After all God caused
mankind to have different languages then so that they would move apart and stop
hatching plans which were against God’s will. Now that the language barrier is
somewhat solved by the use of interpreters at global meetings, still the things
that men hatch are mostly detrimental and crises like that of the migrants
through Europe are not helped as they should be.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
