...I've been throwing quotes out for you to consider and comment on, thereby giving us a sense of on-line community that will help sharpen one another. Today's quote comes from a book I'm reading called "The Revolutionary Communicator" by Jedd Medefind and Erik Lokkesmoe:

"Of course, our world differs greatly from the one Jesus faced. Science and innovation have profoundly altered everyday life. Today's children routinely use media that would have left previous generations--not to mention people of Jesus' day--gaping in wonder. Sounds and images invade nearly every moment, pursuing us and wooing us toward new products, ideas and experiences. As one of California's top political consultants observed, lamenting his own inability to break through this static with even the most well-crafted advertising, 'Our society is diseased with messages.'

Yet all the technology, change, speed, and noise, the fundamental truths at the heart of powerful communication--the principles Jesus lived out in every communication act--have not changed at all."

So, what is at the heart of "powerful communication?" And what are some things we can do to "live out" these things in our actions?
