"8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" - Romans 5:8-10

Christianese

One thing, and probably the only thing (just kidding), I learned from Chad Ragsdale is that we do a poor job of defining terms as Christians. We love to debate and use big words, but we forget to define what we mean by certain terms.

I think we are missing the mark on some very important terms. I think we may be using them without knowing what we're saying. In other words, it's just Christianese.

I would like to look at four words with you that us Christians need to understand more clearly. I need to understand these words as much as the next man. So the next four posts will, hopefully, be short exhortations for making some of our words hold more weight. Hope to have the first one up soon. Thanks to all of you for your continued encouragement and support!
