Big Words by Pastor Darren

(PREFACE: One of the true blessings for me since moving to Honduras is my home church here, and the pastor. Pastor Darren loves God so much and pursues Him with all his heart. I'm encouraged and motived by his life and desire to drink from the living Word!

For almost a year now, I've been toying around with the idea of collecting "big words" that Pastor Darren uses during service to write a book. His messages are very exegetical in form, therefore, causing him to use big, hard, deep vocabulary. I am coming to the realization that writing a book entitled "Big Words by Pastor Darren" might not come into a flesh form for several years. So, until then, I'll just blog about the word.)

Today, Sunday August 17th, 2008, I caught at least three:

1. indicative
2. epitath
3. ethos

Some of those he has used before, of some of them we know the general meaning.  For the most part, these are words that he uses cause me to frown my brow because of a lack of understanding. These are the kinds of words that will be words that I will use in this book (or for now, blog)

1. Indicative: serving as a sign or indication of something. 

(I fail today because I just wrote down the word but not how it applied in the sermon, next week.....)

2. epitaph - a phrase or a statement in memory of a person who has died

3. ethos - the characteristic spirit of a culture or era or community as manifested in its beliefs or aspirations.
