Is #morality #relative?  Consider the source, if we follow #man made rules, then yes it is.  But, if we have been given a code of conduct by the Giver of #Life, the #Creator, then no it is not.  Today we are looking at the third of the Ten Commandments which tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain.  Is this commandment just about speech or does it include conduct as well?  What are the names used for God in the Bible and what do they mean?  How had God established His name with His people before giving them this commandment?  What act were the Israelites told to do in Egyptian captivity that foreshadowed the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ to free us from our bondage to sin and death?  How seriously did the people in the Bible and even the transcribers of the Bible take God’s name?  Are there any verses that tell us that this commandment applies to more than speech and extends to conduct?  What do cursing, hypocrisy, perjury, and blasphemy have in common?  What is meant by the punishment of not being held guiltless?

The LIVING GOD #JESUS CHRIST

What’s in a #name?  – #Family -#Heritage -#Popularity?  You may or may not like your name and some of you may have changed yours to suit yourself.  As I read the names of many in the book of 11 Chronicles such as Jehoshaphat, Mattaniah, Dodavah, and Shephatiah, I am thankful I do not have to spell that everyday.  We name our children after careful consideration, yet GOD gave a name to His Son which is triumphant.  Phil.2:5-11 “Christ Jesus being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: made himself …in likeness of men..humbled himself, became obedient unto death on the cross.. where GOD HAS HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: that at the NAME OF JESUS  every knee should bow of things in heaven and earth and under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD,  to the glory of GOD THE FATHER.”  Job 1:21 “Blessed be the name of the Lord”  Ps.72:17 “His name endures forever”  What about you and your name; is it written in the book of life mentioned in Luke 10:20 and Phil. 4:3 “..labor with me in the gospel….whose NAMES are in the book of life.    Rejoice because YOUR NAMES are written in heaven.”  God knows your name, but do you know HIM?  May I introduce to you, JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND SAVIOR.  “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make shall remain before me, declares the LORD, so shall your offspring and YOUR NAME ENDURE.  It shall come to pass from one new moon to another, from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says the LORD”  Isaiah 66:22,23
