Words of
Faith &Hope
“IT HELPS IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE” “… Faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love” ~ I Corinthians 13:13 Have you noticed how words have changed their meaning over the years? There was a time when a chip meant a piece of wood; hardware meant hardware and software wasn’t even a word; grass was something you mowed and coke was something you drank. Every profession has its own uniqueness. There is the language of medicine, the language of a politician, military language, language of a lawyer, etc. Sometimes people do not have a clue what we are saying. Even in the church we use words like salvation, grace and sanctification, assuming people know what we are talking about. Well-known author and speaker Gary Smalley told of an experience he had leading a seminar. The morning session had gone well and after lunch he hurried back to rearrange the chairs for the next session. He found an empty room and a nice looking gentleman who just sat there. There was not much time and twice Gary asked the man to help him set up chairs. The man just smiled and nodded. Gary became angry. After all, a new group was coming in just a few minutes. Finally, one of Gary’s associates came along to help and Gary explained to him his frustration. Upon hearing the story, the associate remarked, “Gary, you can get upset with him if you want to, but it’s not his fault … because, you see, I know that young man … and I know that he only speaks Spanish. He does not understand a word of English!” It helps if you understand the language. Love is the universal language and it is a language all of us understand. This brings to mind Gary Chapman’s bestselling book The Love Languages of God. We may love with words of affirmation, by giving quality time, by our gifts, by our acts of service or by physical touch. That is why Apostle Paul said love is the greatest gift of all. Prayer: God of love, I praise your name. Help me to love others as you love me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived. Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleague of Rev. Joe Shaler Sponsored In Part by:
