Title: the 3rd Commandment do not use God's name in vain
Vulgarities – a very low level language that offences the society values
Obscenity – things that go against the sexual values
Blasphemy – irrelevant talks against religious values
- A name is very important because it up hold that person's authority and prestige
3 ways that we misuse God's name
- Through our speech
- We should all look out of the words that we use when we are irritated and angry, because some of it might contain God's name
- E.g. Bloody hell, damn it, oh my Gosh
- Through our action
- We are called to be little Christ, thus we should only bring out the Christ like behaviours
- Our actions will either bring a person closing or further away from God
- Any bad behaviour that we have outside will pull down God's name
- Through our worship
- Do you really mean what we sing during P&W?
- Sometimes we abuse God's name by speaking off what we feel is good. E.g. anyhow shouting AMEN
- When we shout Amen, we should really mean it from our heart that we support the prayer or word
