OMG is NOT OK!

Thought for the Day: Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11

“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”

There is a gross amount of ignorance concerning the taking of the LORD’s name in vain.  God’s WORD, the Bible, says NOT to take the LORD’s name in vain (Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11).  To use the LORD’s name in vain is to use it without purpose or reverence.  It is the third of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.  God said not to take His name in vain before He said not to kill, steal, or commit adultery.

Many people believe God is love (I John 4:8) and God loves everybody (John 3:16).  These are true statements but they neglect all of God’s nature and provide a distorted view of who He is.
