Pastor Scott has a great question for all of us today.

What is the Biggest Word You Know?

Pnuemonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is one of the longest words in English.

Everett Smith coined this word in 1935.

Pnuemonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a pulmonary disorder caused by inhaling microscopic silicon ash to the point that the ash accumulates in the lungs, causing respiratory problems such as hyperventilation, coughing, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis.

Most know the chronic form of this disorder usually referred to as "Black Lung Disease".

Well, Mr. Smith, I have another word for you: “pnuematheonagonepiosporeuomaikatalogosaletheia.”

Alright, I admit that my word is more Greek than English.

But I think it is a good word nonetheless, and maybe it will catch on. I think my word is descriptive of who you and I should be.

Since I am suggesting that we live up to this word, you may want to know what my word means.

My word to describe us comes from studying and applying

·       Romans 8:14, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God,” 

·       1 John 1:7, “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light . . .”

·       2 Tim 2:15, “. . . rightly handling the word of truth.”

Pnuematheonagonepiosporeuomaikatalogosaletheia means: Spirit of God led children walking according to the word of truth.

I believe the apostle Paul would agree with me.

Do you agree?
