Church Language


If we want to have the blessing of God on our churches, we need to do what the early church did in Acts chapters 1-2.

In order to be blessed by God we must use everyone’s language. Look in Acts 2:5-8; Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?

What languages do people speak today besides their native tongues?

Every culture has a language that is unique to them. Don’t forget about people’s backgrounds, age, and education. We also have a “technical” language being spoken on the internet, texting, twitter, blogging, videos, etc.

Be wise today and always – speak the right language.
