I've been thinking (always a dangerous thing for me) about the "church language" we use in the Western church & in our faith talk. We use words like Lord, King, Majesty, Savior, etc. But, is this just another form of "technospeak?" Do we give any thought to what these words mean? Or do we use them because they are church words? If you ask most believers what these words mean you might get some canned answer out of a catechism or orientation class. But, do we really know the full impact of the words? When I think of Lord, the first thing that comes to mind is a snobbish old goat sitting by the fire in his club drinking a brandy. King? Some old guy sitting on a throne making pronouncements. Majesty? A form of address for the old guy sitting on a throne making pronouncements. Savior? Why, Jesus is my savior. But, do we really ever give thought to what the words mean? Do we have any words in our language today that adequately portray the totality of the meaning of these terms at the very core of our faith?
