Sea of Faces

I was first introduced to Kutless through the movie, "Passion of the Christ".  I'm not sure how I was because the song isn't on the official soundtrack but perhaps it landed on some soundtrack inspired by the movie.  Or maybe it just landed on the music charts the same time the movie cam out and I associated the two!  :) 
Regardless. 
Kutless is a rock group.  First known for their heavy approach to music they have found their place within the Christian music scene with their worship albums and regular studio albums.  Maybe it's my imagination or maybe I'm just really perceptive but they seem to have mellowed a bit musically as the years have gone by.  Because of their sound I love their worship albums and well their other stuff.  I like that the lead singer can go deep and gritty and then go smooth and mellow.  He's very versatile. 
Sea of Faces is the recognition that even if there was only one person in the world who needed eternal salvation Jesus would have still done what he did.  He didn't do it based on numbers, it's never a numbers game with Jesus.  He didn't do it based on need, he knows everyone has the same need at the core.  He didn't do it to guarantee his favorites would be "safe", Jesus doesn't play favorites.  He cares about each one of us individually and would go to any length, did go to any length, to ensure we could be with him someday. 
As a bonus I have also included my fave worship song from their first worship album.  I just love it!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
