Pastor Daniel21/6/2008The ten commandments (cont.)-vulgarity : a coarse /low level language. offends social & cultural values-obsenity : indecent language that speak against sexual values-blasphemy : irrelevant talk against religious values. Eg ' oh my God!'3ways we misuse God's name-speech, actions, worship1.speech-name symbolises someone or a company-it carries authority-YHWH (YaHWeH) : Exodus 20:7-to use in vain : use in a careless way, flippant manner-cuss words : cursed words. eg: 'damn it. bloody hell!' (has God's name in it), 'bugger' : a person who sodomise. 'wahlao':bad word2.misuse God's name thru our actions-are we being good witnesses?-when your friends misuse God's name, are you going to sit there and do nothing?-Exodus 19:4-6-God's ppl way of life reflects directly on God-Malachi 1:6-14-God chose a new group of ppl to bear His name. they are the Christians.-the term 'Christians' means 'Christ-ones' or 'little Christ'-our ations either pull peoplpe to God or pull them away from God-we accept God, we have a trademark of God. we then bear the responsibilities\-when we misuse God's name. we bring dishonour to Him.Question : are you giving credit to God or to something else?3.Misusing God's name by worshipping Him in the wrong way.-'Amen': vote for it, stick to it no matter what.Labels: the ten commandments
