If you go to a library or bookshelf at home and randomly pick up a book and open it, what kind of words will you see? Will you see quotes translated from someone two millennium ago? Or will see words that you might write today?
Someone asked for feedback on a preaching video; I suggested he stick with everyday words, as though he were sharing good news from his job, his family or a recent game.
Everyday words connect us on the level with our brothers and sisters. We are not standing before the crowd behind a podium, using complex or antiquated words and phrases. We are not projecting the image that we are better than they are. We are simply sharing a wonderful message with the world - in everyday words.
Speaking of videos, I've seen this on another's blog recently, which presents an excellent example of sharing the message of God and Love with the world - in everyday words. She is not at a podium. She is not preaching. In fact, she doesn't speak at all...
