Taking God Seriously

(Brian Schreiber) - Every Commandment has its problems. Some are difficult to understand, others are difficult to interpret, and some are difficult to apply. The Third Commandment presents us with a unique problem: We understand it all too well – “do not use the Lord’s name in vain.” This is not a commandment about swearing. Or at least we can say that’s certainly not the main point.  The issue is whether or not you take God’s name seriously. The key to understanding the Third Commandment lies in properly understanding the phrase “in vain.” The Hebrew expression means “lightly, frivolously, loosely or casually.” To take God’s name “in vain” means to use it in a light, frivolous or casual way.  The old adage is true “there is a lot in a name” – especially God’s.
