They can be useless at time...Words are interesting. They can be useless at times, especially with a congregation not given to strict English. New words can be lost in the sermon.<BR/><BR/>A new word can also be used to magnify the meaning of that word and drive home a point in that sermon. In this sense, it attracts attention, and hence "shouts" the meaning.<BR/><BR/>Your word "vapid" is best related to a more common word,"insipid" and the more familiar term "wishy-washy". So, we can talk about the wasted life dressed in false hope, but full of linguial expression..They know the words, but their "wishy-washy", vapid lifestyles don't measure up.<BR/><BR/>Keep them coming, mate.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
