Can I get an Amen?....

As a child growing up, I learned that there is a distinctive language for every surrounding. While on the basketball court, we would say things like" pass the rock", "make it and take it" or when you make a shot "give me my change".

One of the most utilized word used in Church is "Amen." Think about it, how many times do you hear someone say "Amen." There is a "Amen" for the Sunday School Teacher, a "Amen" for the devotion leader, and some " Amens" for when the Preacher shares the word of God. Do you know the meaning of "Amen"?
"Amen" means truly, verily, or so be it. Many times people say "amen" out of habit . I am breaking the cycle today. I will no longer say "Amen" to motions made by a Church that they are at peace without a Pastor. I will no longer say " Amen" to help someone preaching when it is obvious they haven't studied. I will no longer say" Amen" to someone in the choir that says when didn't rehearse this week, so pray for us as we do this number for the Lord. Can I get a Amen?....
