Here is a common one,
"The devil is the thief that comes to steal and kill and destroy."
False, misused catchphrase

 

[billabong]

"Under the umbrella"

' Judge not '

Yes, "judge not" and "touch not the anointed" seem to go hand in hand.

I'm surprised nobody thought of this one in it's variants:
Bless yer heart
Bless yer pea picking heart
Bless his/her little heart

Then there's the two you hear in the Pentecostal churches.
"let go" & "Hold on"

I've always heard it...if it's the Lord's will and the creek don't rise...lol

What I've heard (and said) "If the Lord don't come and the creek don't rise"

It's been a while since I heard this one, talking about someone stretching a story a little bit:
"evangelistically speaking"

 

[Edify]

There's the preacher's favorite (often abused) "in closing"

 

[Edify]

That's a good one...Never heard it that way before.

Apparently I said it wrong in my previous post.
