SPF 154: He Who Defines Wins – Faithful War 001

He who defines wins. Accurate and correct definitions matter because words have meaning. But what happens when people start re-defining words? The narrative changes, cultures change. Without objective truth there cannot be right or wrong. We want to be accurate Christians who want to articulate the truth well.

He who defines wins. Accurate and correct definitions matter because words have meaning. But what happens when people start re-defining words? The narrative changes, cultures change.

Faithful War Edition 001

Andy and Lauren combine podcasts for Faithful War!

She Proves Faithful + He Makes War = Faithful War

Definition is good. Definition is great. We want things to be what they are, not what they aren’t.

Culture is redefining words. Who has the ultimate authority over meaning.

Logos – the word for Jesus “Jesus is the Word” meaning He is the Truth, the ultimate reality, all that is true, beautiful and good. We want to be accurate with what God says it is. 

Redefining happens when we want to feel better about things we are doing or want. Redefining gives us permission. If we can redefine sin, then we can live according to how we want to live.

Takeaways:

  1. Use words accurately. 

  2. As the world descends into chaos, we can be there to preach the Gospel which is Truth.

  3. Use words the God uses.

Truth = conformity
