Words

We often use the same vocabulary but not the same dictionary. (quoted by John Stonestreet, worldview author)

Stonestreet continues, “Ideas are smuggled into our use of language all the time.” That’s the way false “isms” creep into our society. False religions may use the same terms that Christians use—even biblical terms, but when they apply different meanings to them, only confusion can result. Words are important, so be sure you understand their meaning before you speak.

Jesus: “I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you! . . . Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. . . Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. (Luke 21:15, 23; John 8:47).
