I remember my mother turning, smiling, and saying, " ‘Ain't’ ain't in the dictionary, son". Well, that was some 50 years ago, and now “ain’t” is in the dictionary. This is due to the fact that language changes over a period of time, and meanings are changed by the group that frequently uses the words. For nearly two thousand years, Christians have used words that have been common to their Faith, but have very different meanings to non-Christians. **The Bible is its own dictionary.** Consequently there are words and phrases with meanings not commonly understood by unchurched people. Christians have developed colloquialisms and word definitions that are specific to our Faith and are very confusing to people in the world. This phenomenon occurs not only in the church, but also in the world. Phrases like, "he's cool", "she's hot", "he was on fire", "what's up?", "let's get down". Some of these phrases have been changed by “pop culture” through music, art, sports, radio and television. Pop culture has no dictionary and we must consult with the youth of the day to get the meaning of many words and phrases. But in the Christian Faith, the Bible is the dictionary of these phrases, and holds the key to understanding the meaning of Christian words and the Christian mindset. The Christian’s goal is to do what Jesus said, "be in the world, but not of the world”, but over time the culture of the world has a way of rubbing off on us. Phrases of the world are combined with Christian words and give birth to a language that I call – “Christianese” “they will speak with new tongues” Mark 16:17. 3 Who’s Got a Dictionary? Consider the following conversation: 1.) Chris: “Hi, my friend, are we one in the Lord?” Igor: “Huh?” 2.) Chris: “Are you washed in the Blood and sanctified?” Igor: “Huh?” 3.) Chris: “You are going to the wedding feast of the Lamb, aren’t you?” Igor: “Huh?” Chris: “Are you understanding what I’m saying?” Igor: “No!” 4.) Chris: “You must be born again.” Igor: “There you go with that strange talk.” The translation of what Chris means goes like this: 1.) “Hi my friend, are we one in the Lord?” Translation: Have you accepted Jesus as your Boss and brother so therefore God is your Father and we are spiritually united under Jesus as the Christ-Messiah and Saviour? 2.) “Are you washed in the Blood and sanctified?” Translation: Did you accept Christ’s death as payment for all your sins, and therefore you are set-apart to God as special? (washed and sanctified) 3.) “You are going to the wedding feast of the Lamb, aren’t you?” Translation: Because of 1 & 2 you are awaiting the Lord’s coming, when Jesus will supernaturally appear and remove believers from the earth (the rapture, quickening) and go to Paradise for a great party. (wedding feast) 4.) “You must be born again.” Translation: Let’s start from the beginning - have you heard the Gospel message, and did it cause you to be changed in thought and actions? (born again) Jesus said, “Ye must be born again…” “How can a man be born again when he is old?” said Nicodemus, (Jesus was speaking Christianese and Nicodemus didn’t understand either, and today our language is still a “strange tongue” to many. 4 Christianese My greeter stretched out his arms and as a smile exploded upon his face, he very warmly said, "Como esta?" and then waited for a response. Before I could think of the appropriate answer, I said "yes" and then his smile reflected the confusion of my mind, for it was obvious I had not understood the language. As he escorted me across the room I was thinking about the words he used, "como esta", and from out of the distant past of Spanish class 101, I remembered the correct response, "estoy bien" (I'm fine). With an embarrassed smile, I said "estoy bien." He put his arm around me and we both shared a laugh as the ice began to melt. It was clear to my host that my feeble understanding of the language would be a barrier to communication, if he continued to "habla espanol" (speak Spanish) to me. The Russian driver had been given clear instructions. He was to pick up the teacher from America and bring him to the lecture hall, where he could address the missionary Bible students. He was so excited to have this responsibility that he immediately began to say "slovo bogu, slovo bogu" and rattle on in conversational Russian. He talked all the way to the meeting, and the only phrase I could remember him saying repeatedly from time to time was "slovo bogu". So whenever he would say "slovo bogu", I would respond "slovo bogu to you, too”. When we arrived at the meeting, a man approached me and in English introduced himself as my interpreter, so we approached the podium. I decided to break the ice by teaching them an American religious phrase that has become very widespread, namely "God is good...all the time". To my surprise when I shouted out "God is good", my interpreter said to the people "Slovo Bogu" and the place erupted in spontaneous shouts of praise to God, and I realized that we were now speaking the same language. I flashed back to the car trip and thought how the driver had been greeting me and praising God at the same time. I then realized that Russian Christians would warmly greet each other by praising God, and this was their way of saying hello and identifying the saints (involved believers). 5 _______________________ __Definition of New Tongues On a trip to Ohio, when we had run out of car games, my wife began teaching my youngest son a slang language she calls “alfalfa”. He caught on very quickly, and instantly I was an outsider. As I struggled to figure out what they were saying, I started getting angry and paranoid. “Are they talking about me? What are they saying?” I began to feel isolated and resentful. When someone gets saved, they are excited and changing rapidly. Their loved ones feel isolated and resentful, just as I felt when my wife and son’s new language was foreign to me. This reaction is strange to the believer in that we think, “I have found something that makes me happy and fulfilled, and I’m more moral, yet they’re upset with me”. Well, duh! You’re acting strangely and speaking a language that’s foreign to them.

  • 1 Revelation: Unveiling Reality “Sex, Money and Jezebel” Revelation 2:18-29 Kevin Haah April 17, 2016
    Revelation: Unveiling Reality “Sex, Money and Jezebel” Revelation 2:18-29 Kevin Haah April 17, 2016 Turn on Timer! [Slide 1] We are in a middle of a series entitled, “Revelation: Unveiling Reality.” Revelation was written to show us that reality is more than what we see with our eyes. That’s the thesis of the book: things are not as they seem. This book unveils reality not just of the future, but also of the present. There is more to this present moment then we can know with our unaided senses. The more we see this, the more our perspective toward life changes. We see the world differently. We see the pressures and stresses of our lives differently. So, this is a practical book. It helps us be faithful even during hardships! Today, we are going to look at one of the letters to the seven churches, the letter to the church in Thyatira. [Slide 2] Today’s sermon is entitled, “Sex, Money and Jezebel.” [Slide 3] Let’s go to Revelation 2:18-29: 18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. [Slide 4] 20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

  • Of Mainstream Religion in Australia
    Is 'green' religion the solution to the ecological crisis? A case study of mainstream religion in Australia by Steven Murray Douglas Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University March 2008 ii Candidate's Declaration This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. To the best of the author’s knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text. Steven Murray Douglas Date: iii Acknowledgements “All actions take place in time by the interweaving of the forces of nature; but the man lost in selfish delusion thinks he himself is the actor.” (Bhagavad Gita 3:27). ‘Religion’ remains a somewhat taboo subject in Australia. When combined with environmentalism, notions of spirituality, the practice of criticality, and the concept of self- actualisation, it becomes even harder to ‘pigeonhole’ as a topic, and does not fit comfortably into the realms of academia. In addition to the numerous personal challenges faced during the preparation of this thesis, its very nature challenged the academic environment in which it took place. I consider that I was fortunate to be able to undertake this research with the aid of a scholarship provided by the Fenner School of Environment & Society and the College of Science. I acknowledge David Dumaresq for supporting my scholarship application and candidature, and for being my supervisor for my first year at ANU. Emeritus Professor Valerie Brown took on the role of my supervisor in David’s absence during my second year.

    Bruxy Cavey and The Meeting House Megachurch: A Dramaturgical Model of Charismatic Leadership Performing “Evangelicalism for People Not Into Evangelicalism” by Peter Schuurman A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Peter Schuurman 2016 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ! ii ! Abstract Megachurch pastors—as local and international celebrities—have been a growing phenomenon since the 1960s, when megachurches began to proliferate across North America. Why are these leaders and their large congregations so popular in an age of increasing “religious nones”? Commentators in both popular and academic literature often resort to characterizing the leadership with stereotypes of manipulative opportunists along the lines of Sinclair Lewis’ Elmer Gantry (1927) or narrow characterizations of savvy entrepreneurs who thrive in a competitive religious economy. Similarly, writers assume megachurch attendees are a passive audience, or even dupes. This dissertation challenges the Elmer Gantry stereotype and the religious economic perspectives by examining one particular megachurch pastor named Bruxy Cavey in the context of his “irreligious” megachurch community called

The Hospitable South: Religion, Politics, And Belonging In A Southern Community Abstract This dissertation interrogates the so-called myth of Southern hospitality. I review the historical origins of hospitality on antebellum plantations and engage with theoretical distinctions that have been made between hospitality as discourse and hospitality as practice. Given decades of social and political change in the region, I ask, how is Southern hospitality practiced today, and what are the consequences? I draw on ethnographic and interview data from a community study in Rockdale County, Georgia to explore how the culture of Southern hospitality became manifested as a set of religious practices through which residents determined who did and did not belong in their local community. Originally a mostly-white farming community, Rockdale had witnessed decades of dramatic population growth and diversification during Metro Atlanta’s rapid expansion. I explain how changes like the arrival of immigrants and growth of non-white populations made the community a fitting place for observing how Southern hospitality, with its ethos of gracious hosts and warm welcomes, was actually put into practice.

  • Megachurches in Canada
    Chapter 12 Megachurches in Canada Michael Wilkinson and Peter Schuurman 1 Introduction In the Canadian Prairies, a large gathering of approximately 1,500 evangelicals gather for worship on a cold Sunday morning. This is the second of three week- end services which includes Saturday and Sunday evening worship gatherings. A full slate of programmes is in operation throughout the week aimed at the suburban and middle class families who make Prairie Alliance Church home.1 The range of programmes is quite impressive with age related activities from childbirth through to youth, young adults, parents and seniors. The Church also operates the Alpha programme, a basic introduction to the Christian faith popularised through Holy Trinity Brompton Church in England. Volunteers are coordinated to work with staff offering activities that welcome new immi- grants to Canada. Home groups allow members to meet in smaller groups for prayer, support and Bible study. Support groups focus on issues of addiction and recovery for people looking for assistance. Sermons are all available online in video and podcast form for those who want to revisit previous teachings or catch up on something they missed when absent for vacation or work (see Reimer and Wilkinson 2015). Prairie Alliance Church has a staff of 15 pastors of which only 4 are women. Only one staff person is non-white. The white male dominated staff is not rep- resentative of the city they live in but is typical of many suburban conservative evangelical congregations. An Elder Board is responsible for the direction and operation of the church with its annual $2.2 million budget.2 The congregation is highly organised and focused on incorporating newcomers into the life of the church with small gifts in a welcome bag and coffee when they first attend through to a brief welcome class and later a four-week introduction to the church course.
