Etymology (the study of words and their origins) has always fascinated me. How did words become what they are, and why do they mean what they mean? Regardless of how we got them, words matter. The right word at the right time can be life changing, just as the wrong word at the wrong time can be massively destructive. For thousands of years God has communicated his character, his concepts, and his commands through the written word and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So when it comes to understanding the written Word of God, WORDS MATTER.
