Episode Synopsis

What does it mean to not take the Lord's name in vain? Is there more to God's Top 10 #3 then simply not having a potty mouth and watching your OMG's? If you think about it, there is something really special, and extremely powerful, about the fact that God has let us in on his name. God doesn't want to be complete strangers with us. God doesn't want us only knowing him in some distant way, calling him solely by his title and position, "Mr. God". God wants to be in a much deeper and more intimate relationship with us. He wants us to be on a first-name basis with him, so tells us his name, YHWH, I am! And now that he has revealed his name to us, how do we treat the name that is above all other names? Do we treat his name flippantly, as if it doesn't mean anything? Or do we treat his name as hallowed, set apart, distinctly special? Do we use God's name falsely to invoke his blessing, backing & support on things God has not blessed, backed or supported? Do we profane God's name by our lifestyles? As believers, do we damage God's name and reputation by our conduct, actions and words? At the end of the day, we bear our Heavenly Father's name. We represent YHWH! May our prayer each and every day be the same prayer that Jesus taught us, "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by your name", today, tomorrow, and the day after that in my life!
