![]() The "lingo" of Christianity can be difficult for non-Christians to understand, but some of the big words and terms can even be hard for Christians to fully grasp. I like to call them Ten-Dollar Words, and I hope my poem helps you to understand a couple of those very important, but difficult to understand, words that pastors and teachers toss about. Ten-Dollar Words Sanctification, propitiation-- Big ten-dollar words-- If you grew up in a Bible church, They’re words you must have heard. Sanctification simply means Living out your faith, Growing more like Christ As you journey through your days. Propitiation simply means Atonement for our sins Resulting from the sacrifice Of Jesus for all men. Knowing those big words Won’t change how we should live, But knowing what they mean Reminds us why we live. From . . . And a Poem, Too by Kathy Mansfield

Yes, we do need reminders now and then about why we live. What a good way to prompt us with this educative poem!

That is a lovely poem. Sometimes I forget that not everyone knows the meaning behind the ten-dollar words. (Me, I love them, because they are so very specific in their meanings.)
