The Ten Commandments: The Third Commandment


You shall not take the Name of The Lord your God in vain, for The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain.

Every time that we say The Lord's Name we catch His attention ... and when we use His Name to make a point or exclaim our feelings we waste His time, probably while He was doing something very important.


We, as parents, feel the same way. It frustrates us as well when we are busy and the kids keep calling our name for nothing in particular.


He expects us to refrain from using His Name in our daily conversations and only speak His Name in prayers and when we speak to Him.
