Synopsis: People study language for a variety of reasons. Some study in order to secure a job that pays better; some study to make good grades or to impress others with their vocabulary and knowledge. Some may actually study grammar and mechanics for the fun of it! You might ask yourself whether those reasons are good ones. Why should a Christian study the English language? Christians should study language and any other subject seriously because of Who God is. Just think about the fact that the God of the universe used language to bring the world into existence (Gen. 1:3)! God created every man and woman in His own image, and He called mankind to exercise dominion over the earth. Exercising dominion is accomplished in part through man's use of language (Gen. 1:28; 2:19-20). Perhaps the most exciting aspect of English study is the part language plays in God's plan to redeem the world to Himself (John 1:1-18). Part of that plan could be for Christians to use language for redemptive purposes. One example of such a redemptive purpose might be writing a play that confronts an audience with a distinctively Christian way to handle conflict. Blogging from a biblical worldview about issues facing the culture would be another example.
