Churching It Up
Have you ever misheard a song lyric? You’re not alone. There’s a hilarious website called Kiss This Guy that exists to comfort people just like you.
I’ve been known to garble a song or two in my time. My music mishap: in elementary school I heard the song “Shameless” by Garth Brooks. Instead of belting out, “I’m Shameless” I thought the country legend was screaming, “I’m Shaving!” (Listen to the song for yourself and tell me if you hear it too or if I’m crazy.) I understood the song a lot more once I found out what word the cowboy crooner was actually using.
Songs tend to make more sense when we know and understand the words the artists are singing. The same can be said for the scriptures. God’s word becomes much clearer to the reader when we know and understand the real words that He uses.
You can find many words in many different translations of the Bible that are misunderstood. One of the biggest words that we don’t have a clear understanding of today is the word worship. (more…)
Name Changer

Got it? It can be pretty neat to see the meaning behind your name if you’ve never seen it before. Mine, Alexander, means “Protector of Mankind”. I like the sound of that, if only I could live up to it.
As we look at the Definition of who we are, a great place to start is with our name. (more…)
