On postmodern communication: Jesus’ name for effect
Published by Doug Murren November 27th, 2006 in Communication, Postmodern
Language used for meaning is communication. Language used for effect is an art form used for the fun of it.
I had a dentist once say to me, ”You know if you’d preach about Buddha or other Eastern religions you’d have a bigger church” (we already had a church of 5,000). I asked what he heard when I said, “Jesus was the only way.” He said, “Well that we need to have a solid focus point for our spirituality and you are wanting us to feel what that is like.”
My response, “So you think I just used Jesus’ name for effect.”

Just to clarify…using Jesus’ name for effect is
what we should not be doing. Right? What would
the other side of that be?
