Today we’ll be reflecting on this commandment which guards the proper use of God’s name.  With so much in Scripture about the name of God, this is an important commandment for us to understand.  This commandment has a larger scope than I think we often recognize.  And so let’s turn to think about God’s name now in this third commandment.

In the ancient Near East, Israel had many other so-called gods around them.  Today we find ourselves in a similar situation.  However, today there is a strong spirit of universalism that wants to blend all the world religions into one.  This is not compatible with the Bible, even as we see with these first two of the Ten Commandments.
