Do the words that Christians and the Christian churches use sound
foreign to you? Then try these
word definitions and maybe you'll find them even
stranger.... :-)
A great blog entry on speaking in
Christian-specific language is at
David Cho's blog. Many of the terms above are
technical words which, as he points out, are needed
when among technicians. But many of these words are used to
set up the feeling of a mysterious parallel
universe. The trouble is, non-Christians are not a
part of it, so how can they come to grips with the
Savior and His people if we speak like that? How
can we even know what we're really saying?
Please think before you use church words.
