This week, we’re talking about how Christians should dress for worship services. In many ways, our culture in the United States has gotten much more casual over the past few generations, and this includes the way we dress. This trend toward more casual attire has made its way into the church, as many Christians do not “dress up” very much (if at all) when they assemble for worship. Does this matter? We’re going to discuss that today.Continue Reading
Our culture in the United States has gotten much more casual over the past few generations. This affects our work, speech, relationships, and the way that we dress. The trend toward more casual attire has made its way into the church as many Christians do not “dress up” very much (if at all) when they assemble for worship.
Does this matter?
On one side, you have some who insist that Christians need to wear their “Sunday best” and dress formally as if they were going to a funeral or to meet the President.

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.
Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.
Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
