M-G: 12.15.10 // Body Language, Genesis 11:1

Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.

Before the flood and prior to the tower of Babel, there was only one language! This is hard to relate to living in a post-flood world that has over 6,8oo distinct languages (http://www.ethnologue.com). During the 120 years of preaching righteousness before the flood, Noah had no need for a translator. 

But even when speaking the same language and using the same words, there are no guarantees that the hearer will receive spiritual truth, particularly if every intention of the thoughts of the heart are only evil continually (Gen 6:5). But not all hearts today are so inclined like the antediluvian civilization.

Agape love is the universal language of believers to reach the lost and dying peoples of the earth.  Since non-verbal communication is more abundant than our words, maybe we should be using our body language more in expressing the love of Christ. We are millions strong with a message of hope for a hopeless world. Drown ‘em all in the flood of the supernatural love of Christ! <><
