Chrisitians and Their Acronyms

How do you defeat the Sunday Hangover?

You don't have to anymore, now that everyday is TGIF.

Christians love to use acronyms.

It's partly what makes us so special as people. We have created a new language.

You're probably thinking that it's Jesus that makes us special.

Don't you even know what Jesus stands for? Joyful Eternal Selfless Understanding Son of God. (How God worked that out in English and Greek is beyond me.)

Preachers love to wrap their Sunday sermons all neatly in them (as well as with alliterations). They teach that in seminary, but I dropped out before that class.

For instance, you might have heard a sermon on prayer in which the preacher told you:

"All you have to remember is this one little word-ACTS. Adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, and supplication. Now you can pray like a pro. Now to remember each of those words all you have to remember is..."

A four lettered word becomes a four point sermon series.

Meanwhile, Jesus is up in heaven hitting himself on the forehead that he didn't think of it first. It's okay Jesus, it's more difficult to do in Hebrew.

TGIF has kindled something in my soul. I'm reminded of the acronyms of old. Here are eight of the greatest Christian acronyms:

1) WWJD-What Would Jesus Do (Of course this isn't an acronym. But it looked stinking sweet on a woven clothe bracelet.)

2) FROG-Fully Rely on God

3) PUSH-Pray Until Something Happens

4) SWAG-Saved with Amazing Grace

5) BIBLE-Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

6) LICE-Life In Christ Eternal (Do you have LICE? That question takes on a whole new meaning. And it's a great ice breaker to invite someone to church or to really turn them off. There's nothing like a bunch of believers with LICE hanging out together.)

7) NUTS-Never Underestimate the Spirit

8) ASAP-Always Say a Prayer

The first three are the "Woven Clothe Bracelet Series." They have given way to the "Silicone Rubber Bracelet Series."

Call me old fashion, but I like the hippie woven clothe.

The silicone pulls my arm hairs and they always look new. Remember how the WWJD bracelets started looking ratty and smelling funky? Back in my day, that was a sign of devotion to the Lord.
