A Special Message from Pastor Tom Clark

God’s Vocabulary

Does God have a specific vocabulary? God uses a lexicon of words and phrases to communicate with humanity. Sometimes we forget that God does not communicate with spoken words. God speaks into the human heart. That is precisely the problem. We want clear answers, answers that can be quantified, analyzed, and endlessly interpreted. God’s wisdom leads us in the direction that God desires. God’s wisdom can neither be contained nor limited by human vocabulary. And that is a good thing. Human words have limits and inherent expectations. Unfortunately, we listen to God expecting a lengthy treatise or an eloquent oration. In truth, God speaks in feelings, questions, and even doubt. That is God speaking. God does speak to humanity. Now, that is genuinely God News.

Blessings,

Pastor Tom
