Learning a New Language

Beth and I are each being tutored in French by Debbie Kohlbacher at Whitehaven high school in preparation for speaking in Togo. Learning a language also requires learning a new culture. For example, the French are more formal than Americans when addressing a stranger, and the language reflects it.

Talking with God is a skill that must be learned. It is not that the language is difficult, but it still must be practiced. The “Father or Lies” desires to claim our hearts, and therefore our speech. As we learn to have conversations with God, both speaking and listening, we become more like Him, and our fluency in faith grows.
