INTRODUCING "SLOPPY TALK"

There comes a time when we need to ask ourselves what are we really saying and what are we hearing. We talk like we know what we are saying and find that what we are saying has a different meaning to those who are listening. Two closely related phrases used in and outside of the church have given rise to what I call: “Sloppy Church Talk.” The church is confused in their usage of these phrases. Sometimes they are used one way and sometimes the other way and both ways in the same context. Church people should understand these phrases and use them appropriately. However, they seldom show concern for the appropriate usage of “children of God.” and “the image of God”
