WORDS

WORDS

An average person reads about 250 words a minute.
In a world where text saturates and dominates, we are inundated with lots of words.

Yet, words are important to Christians, because “In the beginning, there was the Word.”
 
We need the Word to become flesh.
We need the words to make sense of our faith.
We need the words to proclaim good news.

All of this is to say, to be a disciple of Christ, you need words.

The Word disciples us using words.

What words will make your life more Christ-like?

We may have our favorites: forgiving, loving, caring, generous, kind, sacrificial, peacable.

Perhaps you prefer a more unusual set of words:
Awestruck.
Creative.
Bold.
Awake.
Flexible.
Risk.
Inspire.
Stubborn. (You can be stubbornly joyous, or stubbornly hopeful!)
Breathe.
Which words make your life more Christ-like? Which words make your life worth living?

Once you have a set of words, let those words disciple you for now. The hope is they will shape, shift, order and transform your life to be more Christ-like.

Then again, they just may be words.
