This Sunday the church celebrates Pentecost. Pentecost is a church-ese word. It means 50 days. Pentecost is 50 days after Easter. Pentecost also marks the birth of the Church. (I think that's a church-ese phrase. It means - "When the Christian church began" - or something close to that.)
“The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways” is a church-ese phrase. It means, “I have no idea what is going on.”
“I was convicted to say something” means “I thought I should say something”
“The Lord told me to . . .“ usually means “I thought I should . . .“
“Well bless your heart.” Means, “You don’t have a clue.” Or “There’s no way I approve of you.”
What are some church-ese words or phrases you know? What do they mean?
And why do we continue to use church-ese when it is such a conversation ender?
