Words I'm Tired of Hearing.

The problem with heavily used words, is that, as its usage continues, people tend to forget why they use them, or what they mean. Most often this happens with Buzzwords. Especially in politics. A couple such words that I've heard a LOT as Nov. 7th rolls around are "Agenda", and "Indoctrinate or Indoctrine".

Christians tend to use the word indoctrinate when referring to "The Left", "The World", "The Secular Humanists", " The Doctors"... They image they conjur up is one of secret late night meetings held in front of a giant whiteboard where non-Christian folk hatch an immense comprehensive plan to "turn our children gay", "persecute the church", and fabricate lies like "Global Warming", "Evolution", and that the world is chock full of "Poor Ugly People". It's a harsh word to use. Honestly. My point is, there is no indoctrination. There is no seedy plan being hatched by any of those people to do any of those things. What there IS is a large majority of folks, believing what they believe and baed on a heartfelt conviction passing it along because they think it is true and beautiful. Sound familiar? I don't view Evangelism as indoctrination, or an agenda I possess. It is the natural byproduct of what I hold dear in my heart and mind. This is not all to say that what the left is "pushing" is correct, but I think it's much more beneficial (and 1000x more important) to our cause as Christians to understand with whom we are dealing - people just like us.
