How to Increase Your Amen Level

Step One: take a standard brethren concept or stock expression.

Step Two: strip the standard brethren phraseology from it and see what it really means.

Step Three: see if the actual meaning is something you're happy to say (they aren't all).

Step Four: if it is, then think of the simplest way of saying it in plain English.

Step Five: aim and release.

Step Six: wait for the enthusiasm as the brethren realise they understand what you just said, and in spite of it sounding as though it's a completely fresh thought you just had, they actually agree with it!

Just like magic.
