Do-It-Yourself Theological Construct

Compose 10,000 impressive sentences. Select a phrase from each column to form statements which sound profound.

Those who have not yet mastered theological conversation will find this guide invaluable in conversing with peers and authorities. Simply think of any 4-digit number
(say, 6518) and read off the similarly numbered phrases from columns A, B, C, and D. (For example, 6518 is “In the last analysis, the homiletic problem is further
compounded by considering global perspectives.”) Never mind what it means; just use it and watch the way you bring conversation to a halt. You can compose
profound reports by using varied number combinations.

As you become more proficient in its use, you may wish to experiment with varying the column sequence, e.g., BACD, CBAD, etc. These advanced configurations
are not recommended for beginners, however, requiring as they do sophisticated dexterity with punctuation.
