I know this isn't really significant and I never make a big deal out of this in fellowship/church or anything but I'm just curious if anyone else finds "Christian language" cliché? I don't know exactly what it is, but whenever I read a tweet or have someone in a causal conversation mutter the words "to God be the glory" or something like it, I get this sense of...almost insecurity on their part, or something? Like honestly, does anyone think you are withholding glory from God or is your view of God such that you feel the need to verbalize these clichés to appease Him in some fashion? Don't get me wrong, I inwardly almost feel constant thankfulness to God and see Him as deserving of glory, absolutely. However, I am not one to verbalize these things, I find it, well, cliché and at times straight up a little annoying. Perhaps there is a genuine overflow of thankfulness in the heart of those who incessantly verbalize these things that they cannot contain themselves but it just strikes me as odd and makes me feel a bit awkward quite frankly.
...Yes "to God be the glory". I agree. Thanks for stating that.
Is it just me?
