Ever noticed how your name is the most normal thing to you? Or your birthday? We often expect these words to hold meaning to others, and to some it will, but to other its a random jumble of letters. Or a random bunch of numbers. But you've writted it out hundreds, probably thousands of times. You've been called by it, probably thousands of times when you think about it.
I feel as though we, Christians do this alot. Because we've so familiarised ourselves with words like 'sin' or 'predestination' or 'redemption.' You have to use your powers of empathy to put yourselves in their shoes. Imagine walking into a random church service and having those rather meaningless (to you) words thrown at you. You'd be a little confused, get bored & off track very quickly, potentially repulsed at their lack of empathy for you. I would probably be.
Those of you who don't know Jesus as of yet, don't be turned off by fancy words. The truth is more important then words.
So, my brothers & sisters, try to avoid using words that sound familar to you, but to others are plain old confusing. The truth is more important then words.
