The thing about words is that we have to agree on what they mean in order for them to work properly. On several occasions, I’ve gotten myself into trouble on social media simply by misunderstanding what people have meant by using the word Christian in their statements. My mistake has been in assuming that others have meant the same thing I would mean were I the one using that word. But I've since learned how to avoid these misunderstandings, and navigate these conversations more peacefully.
