please stop using the word "covenant"

Please. I understand that as a Christian you feel obligated to start calling a promise or pledge a "covenant", much the same way you call any gathering of Christians "fellowship", particularly when they're eating. But unless you're sacrificing an animal or two, choose another word than "covenant". Remember, speaking in King James English doesn't earn you additional divine consideration. Not only because it would be incredibly unfair to anyone whose first language isn't any form of English, but also because it's not even close to the language actually spoken by the Lord anyway...
