Are We Confused?
If we adamantly preach from the pulpit that the Lord’s Church should not have a choir, then why do we joke from the pulpit about preaching to the choir? Do we just like to confuse people?

Some words can be used in different contexts to convey a significant point. I think this is one of those words. The word “choir” to me is not a troublesome word. As you would say (presumably), I do the same, the congregation is the Lord’s choir.

True. However, are we certain that everyone in attendance understands the nuance? No.

This is true, and it is fair to ask as you have. That also applies, however, to the many other words that are used by people in a local or larger setting.

I’d think people understand, since it’s a figure of speech quite well known.
