What comes to mind when I say,  "The 10 Commandments"?  A list of rules? Something to put on the wall of a courtroom? How about love? The 10 Commandments were first given in the context of God's love for the Jews as His "treasured possession." They are a guide for loving Him back. As such they tell us what matters to Him and how to be in step with Him. For Christ-followers, they fulfill a similar function. Once we have experienced God's love, acceptance, and forgiveness in Jesus, they show us how to love Him and love with Him.

Third Commandment: Don't Misuse God's Name

Exodus 20:1-2, 7; Deuteronomy 5:11; Exodus 19:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Matthew 5:13-15; 7:15-23; John 14:10-13 

We humans are an impressionable lot. We are influenced by those around us but we also influence them too. We can be changed or we can become agents of change. The Third Commandment is a call to be influencers and aware of our influence. It's a call to live like we know and love God that our words and actions would represent him well.
