I once learned that "Amen" means "I believe." It doesn't. Today in church, I learned that it means "It is so," or "Let it be." Either way, it's an agreement. When we say "amen," we agree with whatever is said, especially in the context of God's Word. Dictionary.com says it can also mean "verily," or "truly."
I learned something new today! How exciting! So, now when I use the word "Amen," it takes on new meaning. It doesn't just mean that I believe what is said. It is an agreement with what is said. Does that make sense? It makes complete sense in my head.
Anyway, that's just something cool I learned today.
