God's Name Is Not a Costume (November 3, 2024)

Most of us would never shrug off a slur against someone we love—yet we've grown comfortable around casual, empty uses of the name of the God we say we follow. The Third Commandment cuts there: Exodus 20:7 warns that the Lord will not hold guiltless those who take his name in vain, which raises an uncomfortable question about how seriously we actually take it.

Family conflict. Our attempts to force a good outcome. So often our all too human messes and efforts leave life looking like a train wreck that gives sin the final word.
