The Name

READ: Exodus 20:1-7

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. —Exodus 20:7

It’s not easy to keep up with the shorthand that accompanies today’s fast-paced, youth-oriented electronic communication. In IM-speak (Instant Message talk) or text-message language, “laughing out loud” becomes “lol.” “By the way” is “btw.” And regrettably, some people use “omg” for “Oh, my God!”

This last phrase seems to be on the lips of many who receive startling news. But as Christians, we need to stop before we utter this or any other phrase that flippantly uses God’s name.

In Matthew 6, when Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, the first thing He told them to say was this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name” (v.9). Clearly, God’s name itself is special. It encompasses His nature, His teachings, and His moral authority. To speak the name of God is to call on the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

In every way possible, we should honor and protect God’s holy name, preserving its use for those occasions when we are speaking of Him or addressing Him in faith.

Let’s be careful never to turn the hallowed name of our awesome and mighty God into just another flippant phrase on our lips or in a text message.

May all I am and do and say
Give glory to my Lord alway;
And may no act of mine cause shame
Nor bring reproach upon His name.  —Anon.

God’s name: handle with care.

Bible in One Year:   Exodus 19-20; Matthew 18:21-35

I have to try that caraway seed cake. If I have a hobby I suppose you'd say it is trying unusual and/or very complicated recipes.

I do love poppy seed cake. I use the whole bottle of poppy seeds. I can buy them in any store spice section in a regular sized bottle. I soak the whole bottle for the recipe. But for five whole years I avoided even the occasional poppy seed muffin because I worked at a big prison and the staff would have impromptu drug tests. And true or not I don't know but I heard the rumor that if you eat poppy seeds you will test positive for like heroin or cocaine or something bad. I have enough problems without trying to explain that.

I think that is why quite a few British people are wary of poppy seeds they think they are going to end up in a opium den :0).

I was going to ask you this last night. I like to cook but I get stuck with the whole thing. Unfortunately, that means I spend the week eating it. I'm wondering with you and your wonderful food and three cakes. Do you have a big family to attack all that food?

[snugs]

The small cake is for a friend who helping us repair the fence that was blown down last weekend. The seed cake is for dad he likes a slice at supper time just before he goes to bed.

The Strawberry explosion LOL is for dessert for the next 3 days as there is just me and dad.

I sometimes take cakes into work but mainly dad and I eat them over 3 or 4 days or in the case of a larger cake a little bit longer.

Here's another article that might be interesting to folks on this thread. The original poster didn't understand formatting, but someone corrected everything a few posts down.
