taking the lord's name in vein 

referring to to proclaim one's actions or words as coming from the Judaeo-Christian God when in fact the actions or words are not from God at all. Reference Exodus verse similar to "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God".

This commandment has nothing to do with the phrase "God dammit" as many superstitious simpletons have comes to believe.

Examples of taking the Lord's name in vein are:
"God told me that you should let me marry your 13 year old daughter"
"In the name of Jesus, I command you to . . "
"God sent me to do this"
"I am on a mission from God"
"God told me to tell you to send in 1 million dollars, operators are standing by."
"God hates fags"
"God hates America"
"God caused natural disaster A, B, C to punish group A, B, C"
"God told me blah blah blah"

Passing the Lord's Gravy 

To commit a premarital sexual act within the bible belt of the Southern States or more often than not to share bodily fluid under the pretense of "Watching a movie" with one's boyfriend/girlfriend.

The feint moans of Alexis resonated throughout the mobile home as Adrian heard his father Stephen batter the door open to his small country dwellings. "Oh shit!" said Adrian. "Ah ha! I knew you weren't just "watching a movie"!" Stephen responded to his son's blasphemous tone. "Passing the Lord's gravy before marriage is not allowed within this trailer! " Stephen finished.

Doing the Lord’s Work

When someone handles a task that benefits everyone — especially something inconvenient, uncomfortable, or ignored by others.
Often used humorously. Doesn’t always refer to religion.
Can describe someone sacrificing time, energy, or sanity to improve a situation nobody else wanted to deal with.

“Whoever fixed the Wi-Fi before the meeting started is doing the Lord’s work.”
“She called out the scam in the comments so nobody else gets fooled. Lord’s work.”
“Bro cleaned the kitchen without being asked? That’s the Lord’s work.”
