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. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 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.
