Question of the day ??
Does anybody know why we end our prayers with the word "Amen" and/or what it means?
I'll give you a hint: It doesn't mean "That's all God!"

I am not sure, but I always think of it as "I agree"
Doesn't it mean something like 'truth' or 'it is true'?
I always thought it was something along the lines of "let it be so." Like Captain Picard's tagline, you know?
According to Strong's it is Hebrew and means "so be it" or "truth".
An excerpt from The Bible Answer Book by Hank Hanegraaff (the writer/radio show personality and self titled "Bible Answer Man"). In it he answered last Friday's Question of the Day ??
"With the word'amen' we are in effect saying, 'May it be so in accordance with the will of God.' It is a marvelous reminder that any discussion on prayer must begin with the understanding that prayer is a means of bringing us into the conformity with God's will, not a magic mantra that ensures God's conformity to ours."
