Jesus said something incredibly profound when he commented, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."Another time he said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."What each of us needs more than anything is the ability to engage in cross-examination. The crucifixion of Jesus on the cross is a graphic depiction of what we do to ourselves every time we deny who we really are, and what we do to others every time we encourage them to be inauthentic—as adults do so much especially with children.That old word "repentance," which has been horribly distorted by so many churches, comes into play here.

Sites affectedAdab - an ancient city plagued by hundreds of looters.Babylon - saw the construction of "a 150-hectare camp for 2,000 troops. In the process the 2,500-year-old brick pavement to the Ishtar Gate was smashed by tanks and the gate itself damaged. The archaeology-rich subsoil was bulldozed to fill sandbags, and large areas covered in compacted gravel for helipads and car parks. Babylon is being rendered archaeologically barren" (Simon Jenkins in The Guardian, 8 June 2007).Hatra - looters with stonecutters have stolen elements of friezes and reliefs straight off the ancient architecture here.Isin - over two hundred looters' pits are organized around the former site of the Temple of Gula; countless artifacts have been removed from the site here, including innumerable cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, and votive tablets, some of which could sell for as much as $30,000.Nimrud - home of the palace of Assurnasirpal II and described by the Old Testament as the "principal city" of Assyria, Nimrud is one of the few sites that is militarily protected.
