Of course when using biblical phrases we must be careful to keep everything in proper context lest we become like the preacher who boldly proclaimed that, "Sampson killed 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of a donkeys ass."

Although I'm not always a fan of these types of remarks in sermons, sometimes they are humerous... like the "Lo and Behold" blouses.. that cracked me up.
Where it might offend someone new in the audience, I would refrain from saying it in a sermon.
But that's just me. I don't want to offend anyone and turn them off before the Lord can get ahold of them.
And I'd probably be too sensitive to that, and not want to preach hard when preaching hard was needed... that's why God didn't call me to preach.
That said, I have so many faults of my own to deal with, I can't pick apart a preacher who says something I wouldn't have said myself.
