vocabulary corner

not much time to write today, but wanted to put a stake in the ground as to stuff that's been on my mind to start writing about.

i've recently been thinking about certain "churchy", but biblical words. there are lots of words found in scripture that we hear randomly in sermons or songs or other places, that more often than not carry very little meaning for us. seems like we either tend to use these words w/o giving any thought to their meaning, or we use them in contexts (particularly w/our non-believing friends) that just weird people out, or we avoid the words (and consequently the ideas behind them) altogether.

i think there are words in scripture that are foreign to us and our culture and upbringing, and these words and concepts can come across as strange or irrelevant, when in reality they are words of gravity and significance. words that are timeless, and if truly understood, shed light on the heart and character of God and his Son.

So, yeah. starting sometime soon, recognizing that this is a holiday weekend (just cutting myself some slack), i'm gonna start writing about some of the words that are coming to my mind.

Stuff like "Glory", "Holy", "Worship", etc. we'll see. should be fun, at least for me...
