I don't like when things are labeled incorrectly.

I don't think a "Revival" should ever be labeled until after it has occurred. It drives me nuts when I see churches advertising a revival service the week before it happens. "I mean, we booked the Holy Spirit 3 months ago ..."

I was reading Cross Cultural Servanthood by Duane Elmer in it he writes that too many Christians label themselves "servant leaders." He strongly recommends that Christians don't use the label "servant" until the people around them begin using that term when speaking about them. I thought that was an interesting point.

Something else to drive me nuts. Great.
