Different Christian Acronyms

I LOVE ACRONYMS; THEY’RE SO MUCH FUN!

Here are just a few I’ve composed:

CHRISTIANS: Christ Has Risen Inside So That Individuals Are Nearing Sanctification

JESUS: Joyful with Every Saint Under Salvation

SOAR (IN JESUS): Staying Over All Roadblocks (I'm Now Joyful with Each Step Under Salvation)*

TRUST: Total Rest Unto Surrender Today

STOP: Stand Together On (Godly) Principle(s)

STAND: Stay Tough And Never Detour (or Derail)


Here are a couple from my pastor, Pastor Betty Moede:

SWAT: Spiritual Warfare Advanced Training

BELIEVE: Because Emmanuel Lives I Expect Victory Every time

RISE UP: Respond In Sincere Expression Until Purpose and destiny are accomplished! (FOR THIS ONE ONLY: she's not sure if this one had been hers or she read it somewhere--many years ago)

Here is one Helene Peters came up for at my church:

CPR: Christians Praising (or Praying) Relentlessly


And...

Here are some better-known ones (AUTHORS UNKNOWN -- at least to me):

FROG: Fully Rely On God

DOG: Depend On God

GRACE: God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense

ASAP: Always Say A Prayer

TGIF: Today God Is First

OR

Thank God I ’m Forgiven

FEAR: False Evidence Appear Real

FAITH: Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him

OR

My personal rendition:

Forsaking All I Trust Him




*Originally-- "Roadblocks" was "Rejection" when I came up with this acronym, but I changed it to become more inclusive. And that's a whole other story for another time.
