Just me trying to be honest with God.

Reclaiming a misused word.

The word “nice” used to mean “ignorant.” Over time the word came to mean “pleasant.” Funny how words can change meaning in a society. I found myself avoiding the word “Christian” because of all the negatives associated with it in our day, none of which are “Christian” at all. It dawns on me that the original use of the word Christian is something I do want to be associated with. It means Christlike! 

“He saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts…good…full of the Holy Spirit and faith… The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”Conversations Within ts 8/6/2023
