The Holy Spirit takes the language and applies it to my heart which produces a “spiritual awakening” and reverence for the Word of God! It is as if the chain shines in brilliance as we define the order and work of Christ’s redeeming love. The language is of most importance!

Maybe good to start kids or new believers on, but for Goodness sake, we should never leave them dangling there.

Just like we ought not omit and avoid big theological words and concepts, supposing they will only frustrate, confuse, and chase people from the pews. What once was called ‘teaching’ is too often considered intrusive, offensive, unnecessary, and insulting.
