SERIES OVERVIEW:

To have a favorite or not to have a favorite, that is the question. Okay, “Hamlet” is loaded with possible favorite quotes, and it is hard to pick just one. But if I had to, it would be when Polonius interrupts Hamlet in the library and asks, “What do you read, my lord?” And Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Now, Polonius is an accomplice of the evil king and Hamlet is feigning insanity, so we can’t take everything that is said here at face value. In fact, we all know that something is rotten in the library. Besides, if Hamlet didn’t believe in the power of words, he would never have uttered a single soliloquy. No, methinks the lad doth protest too much here. See, words matter. They are not just ink on a page. Words have meaning and history and emotion and hopes and truth built into them. And that is especially true about many of the words in the New Testament. And that is why it is important to go back every once in a while and look at some of those words that we know are important, to make sure we have a good grasp of their full depth and significance and feeling. “What’s the Good Word?” is not just another summer series. What’s salvation? What’s righteousness? What’s faith? What’s religion? That is the question!
