AMPLIFIED 2015 | Deuteronomy 11:19 "You shall teach them [diligently] to your children [impressing God's precepts on their minds and penetrating their hearts with His truths], speaking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. |
Subject: Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? |
Bible Note: Thank you to all who have responded. My desire is not to dumb-down the Good News (Hollywood does enough of that already!). No, my desire is to give the uninitiated enquirer something they can grasp so I don't lose them at that point. I guess I am thinking that, so long as we can keep them engaged in the topic, we have an opportunity to teach. However, if you are speaking some (as good as) foreign language, the conversation will end rather quickly! however, if I can begin with something the listener can grasp, we may then be able to move from the known to the unknown (a good education process) and lead them to understand that, in fact, Jesus is LORD of the universe and ask the question, "On finding out that Jesus is LORD, what is your response?" My son has suggested the term "Supreme Ruler". His thought was that this would be relevant to anyone who has an interest in Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc - a good number of people. Maybe, but I will keep looking and thank you and all others for your contributions. |
