"Amen"

Hi!  Hope you are having a good day:)

Today I wanted to talk about a word we use a lot, and I mean, a LOT, in "Christian culture."  The thing is, we say it all the time, but a lot of people have no clue what it means.  So what's the word?

Amen.

If you took the time to think about it, the answer becomes pretty clear.  It means "it is so," or "let it be."  When you say "amen" you are saying you agree with whatever was just said, or praying it will be/is so.  Other definitions described it as an expression "of solemn ratification or hearty approval," (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amen), or a "declaration of affirmation." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen)

There isn't much more to say, but I hope next time you say "amen," you understand a little more about what you're saying.

God bless you.  Amen;)

Sincerely,
Heather
