More words and phrases that I am really tired of hearing:

1.   Shekinah Glory (as in: I could see the Shekinah Glory in the tent as the revival went late into the night)

2.   Rose of Sharon (as in: I could smell the Rose of Sharon as Todd Bentley knocked me upside the head)

3.   The Healing Balm of Gilead ( as in: the super out of contexted Biblical plant; or “I pray for the healing balm of gilead to heal my sick friend right now; or ‘what is this: The Lord of the Rings?)

4.   “If that doesn’t start a fire in your heart, then your woods wet.” (as in: no explaination needed)

5.   Quiet Time (as in: have you had your quiet time with the Lord yet today?)

6.   “,but when he got filled with the Holy Ghost…” (as in: I don’t believe that someone is truly saved or at least doesn’t have a valuable life as a Christian unless they speak in tongues. )

7.   “Brother” and “Sister” (as in: I don’t call my blood brothers and sisters ‘Brother’ or ‘Sister’ so why should I call some old guy at my church whom I hardly know “Brother”; or dare I say , call my own wife “Sister Susan”- gross!)

8.   Gold Dust (as in: “The Lord just started sprinkling gold dust on us as we worshipped him atthe revival.” Sounds a little like Tinker Bell to me?)

9.   Thus sayith the Lord (as in: Does God really use old English when He speaks to us in modern times??)

10. Spirit Filled (as in: “We’re a Spirit Filled church.” It implies that other Christian churches do not have the Spirit of God in them and thus sounds exclusive in nature)

   Honestly, who says “Shekinah Glory” … “Rose of Sharon” and “The Healing Balm of Gilead” anymore?
