I THOUGHT I KNEW...

I heard a pastor say awhile ago that to take the Lord's name in vain is not what we think it is. He said that if you say "G-d-" you aren't taking His name in vain; you are cursing. He said, and it makes sense to me, that you take His name in vain when you say you are His, i.e. you TAKE His name, and then continue to live below the standard that His name stands for. I don't mean that we will never sin, but that we will allow the Holy Spirit to expose each area of darkness in us as He wills and through His power make the appropriate changes. Love, KDR
