Every word has power.

Each word is important.

You are invited and challenged to take the following terms and define or describe them in less then 3 minutes.

As a start I suggest that the essential terms are:

Love

Faith

Hope

Mercy

Grace

Sovereignty

Free will

Body

Soul

Spirit

Justification

Sanctification

May I suggest that in order to effectively teach and train believers you need to be careful to define your terms. These days the same words are given very different definitions. Often these differences are minor but sometimes they are major. Besides the words listed here also be sure to clarify any words that seem to cause confusion in those who hear you. It may be wise to gradually build a glossary of terms that you use often in your teaching or preaching. Put these with your handouts, on your web site or otherwise make them available.
